International Daughters' Day 2022 History and Significance:

International Daughters' Day was conceptualised to fight against the stigma around having a girl child, thinking of daughters as a liability, and honouring women. Although there is no actual origin of this day, in most countries, including India, a day designated for daughters helps in fighting the stigma and tackling crimes against the girl child. Organisations and governments also pledge to fight against the gender gap and provide equal opportunities on this day.

One can make the day special for their daughters by treating them with respect and love and providing them with equal opportunities. They should also pledge to do this not just today but throughout the year. You can prepare handmade gifts for them, arrange a day full of their favourite activities, shower them with love, and so much more to make your daughter feel on top of the world. Such gestures will not only make them feel loved but will also act as a bonding session. (Also Read | Tips for parents to make studying fun for children)
