Vice Mayor Gaál said that around 2,800 girls took part in this event last year. Registration for this year's daughter day begins on February 13th at 9 a.m. and offers the participants the opportunity to sniff into various professions such as firefighter or programmer. "Here the girls learn that all doors are open to them," said Gaál. The event aims to question outdated role models and show the young girls new, exciting professional perspectives.
