Eldest Daughter Day, August 26th 

Launched in 2023, Eldest Daughter Day is an international day of recognition and appreciation for eldest daughters—the often-unsung heroes of their families and communities.

Created in collaboration between Home Girls Unite and Eldest Daughter Club, this day shines a spotlight on the emotional labour, responsibility, and care eldest daughters give, often without being asked or acknowledged.

For one day, we ask the world to prioritise the needs of eldest daughters—because in most families, they’re expected to prioritise everyone else, even when they can’t or shouldn’t have to.

Eldest Daughter Day is a reminder that you are allowed to put yourself first. We encourage eldest daughters to celebrate by doing something just for themselves, guilt-free—especially that one thing they’ve been putting off all year. And we encourage everyone else to honour and celebrate the eldest daughters in their lives.
