Bridging the Gap: Dr. Fatima Dantata Champions Dialogue Between Mothers and Daughters
In a powerful move to address a growing societal concern, Dr. Fatima Sa’adina Dantata convened a special dialogue session aimed at mending the communication gap between parents and their daughters.
In her keynote address, Dr. Fatima Sa Adna Dantata explained the root of the problem of not understanding the mothers as the daughters
“Mothers often don’t understand what their daughters want or the difficulties they face, especially in terms of their menstrual cycle, hormonal changes, and the general transition into womanhood.”

Dantata emphasized that this communication breakdown has far-reaching implications, making it a pressing issue for parents to address. She urged the community to take proactive steps to understand their daughters, arguing that this is the first line of defense against larger societal ills.
“It is high time for parents to understand their daughters to avoid the challenges they are facing and to bring solutions to societal problems like drug abuse and bad behavior,” she asserted.
“In many cases, no one at home understands the young girl. The one who ends up understanding her is sometimes the house help or her friends, who may not always offer the right guidance.”
“When a girl feels unheard and misunderstood at home, she becomes vulnerable to negative influences from the outside world. Open communication within the family is the key to prevention.”
The event, titled Nurturing Strong Girls with stronger Bonds saw a remarkable turnout, with a diverse cross-section of the community in attendance.
Pulse Time Nigeria reports that,the event talk place at meena event center Kano brough together mothers of all ages, young female students, and respected elderly women, all engaged in frank and heartfelt conversations.
The interactive nature of the event allowed for a free flow of questions, personal stories, and shared experiences, breaking down long-held barriers of silence and stigma.
The gathering highlighted a critical issue particularly observed in the Hausa community: a significant disconnect where mothers often struggle to understand the realities and pressures facing their daughters.
The “Unbounding” dialogue marks a significant step towards fostering stronger, more empathetic relationships between mothers and daughters in the community. By creating a safe space for conversation, Dr. Dantata’s initiative aims to empower families with the understanding needed to navigate the complexities of modern adolescence, ultimately building a healthier and more cohesive society.
