Is Girls’ Day essentially a holiday that gives girls an excuse to receive gifts?

Of course not!

Girls’ Day is essentially a warm reminder: Do you really respect women from the bottom of your heart?

In fact, this holiday is not easy to come by. It was originally called International Women’s Day, and it was originally intended to fight for women’s economic, political and social status.

Later, as women’s status became higher and higher, this March 8th Festival gradually evolved into a special treatment or welfare for women.

In many units, every year on March 8th, when a trade union is established, some small holiday benefits will be given to female employees of the unit: laundry detergent, shampoo, books, movie tickets, etc. Toilet paper, etc., don't care about the value, but pay more attention to expressing a kind of care and love for women in the workplace. Some companies even give working female employees a half-day off, so that they can have time and mood to go shopping, have their hair done, and rest their tired body and mind after their busy work.

Later, with the further development of the economy and the progress of social civilization, female friends will receive blessings and gifts from their boyfriends, husbands, and children on March 8 every year, including flowers, There are jewelry, handicrafts... they all express the love from their families, which also makes women feel like they are surrounded by everyone's love.

However, this evolution can only be said to be a kind of civilizational progress, not the essence of this festival. I personally feel that the real essence of this festival is to remind us that women must be self-respecting, self-reliant, self-reliant, and self-loving. Only in this way will we win more respect and recognition from all aspects of society.

Are you right?
