Significance of National Daughters Day

National Daughters Day provides an opportunity to cherish and celebrate the daughters who bring so much happiness in their parent’s lives. Although parents always appreciate their children, National Daughters Day offers a platform to openly show that feeling by giving the daughters some special gifts, materialistic or non-materialistic.

Daughters are a blessing from God who are not only capable of taking care of household work and family but if given the right support and opportunity can run a business, go to space, and do every other task that was earlier supposed to be for sons.

Thus, National Daughters Day is also a special day of reflecting on the value of an equal and fair upbringing that will enable daughters to spread their wings and thrive in their lives.

History of National Daughters Day Celebration

Why is Daughters Day celebrated in the US?

The US is considered one of the most developed countries in the world but here also women were treated inferior to men. They did not have voting rights and daughters were only meant to perform household work. Rising from the obstacles and doing some work of actual significance didn’t come easy. The country is still fighting for equal pay for women in many areas of the profession.

Thus, National Daughters Day began celebrating in the US to help people realize that daughters are as much capable as sons and need to be appreciated equally.
