When is Daughter’s Day?
International Daughter’s Day is celebrated on the 4th Sunday in September. In 2024, it falls on Sunday, September 22nd.
In many parts of the world, daughters are not given the same opportunities as sons. This is especially true in developing countries, where girls are often seen as a financial burden on their families. International Daughter’s Day is a day to celebrate and appreciate the contributions of daughters around the world.
This day also serves as a reminder that every girl deserves the same opportunities in life, regardless of where she was born. Every daughter has the potential to make a difference in her community and the world at large.
Why you should celebrate Daughter’s Day?
Daughters are often the unsung heroes of their families. They are the ones who care for their parents as they age, and they are often the ones who sacrifice their desires to help their families.
Daughters also play a vital role in the development of their communities. They help to break down barriers and create opportunities for other women. When girls are allowed to succeed, everyone benefits.
