when was national daughters day created

National Daughters Day has a complex history with roots going back to at least 1932 in the United States. It was celebrated in Vermont by the Daughters of Union Veterans as a combined Christmas and Daughters' Day event. In 1936, J. Henry Dusenberry from Missouri initiated the first celebration of National Sons and Daughters Day, which is related to the observance of daughters. The modern revival and popularization of National Daughters Day, especially in India, began in 2007 by Archies Limited, an Indian greeting card company aiming to raise awareness of the struggles of girls and encourage parents to celebrate their daughters. Since then, the day has gained popularity globally and is celebrated in the U.S. on September 25 each year, emphasizing appreciation, empowerment, and gender equality for daughters.
