It can be used as an easy PR move to shine a spotlight on some group specific issues, like prostate cancer or breast cancer or etc.

It doesn't have to be negative 'we demand stuff for our group' day.

Yes. Two things might be conflated: innate attribute (ie, biological gender) and awareness (ie, type of cancer). A mother's day#, aunt's day, or a men's day seems to subtly poke at how a group is taken for granted; that doesn't mean they need a day or special help.

I get every PR means can help as part of a holistic strategy for awareness.

# Maybe mostly commercial inventions.
