April 9 – International Day of Pink
🌸 About the Day
The International Day of Pink is observed every second Wednesday of April to raise awareness against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia. It’s a global call to stand in solidarity with marginalized communities and build a more inclusive world—one act of kindness and one pink shirt at a time.
📖 History Behind the Day
The movement began in Nova Scotia, Canada, when two high school students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, saw a fellow student being bullied for wearing pink. In response, they encouraged their peers to wear pink in support. What started as a simple act of solidarity quickly turned into a global anti-bullying campaign known as the Day of Pink.
💡 Did You Know?
- The movement is entirely youth-led and has inspired schools in over 25 countries to organize awareness events.
- Pink is used as a symbol of empathy, compassion, and resistance against bullying.
- Over 75% of LGBTQ+ students experience bullying at school—days like these help shift those numbers by fostering allyship.
- The International Day of Pink is distinct from the Canadian Pink Shirt Day held in February, though they share similar goals.
Pink Stands for Kindness, Courage, and Being True to you.
