Inspired by the creation of Pink Shirt Day, International Day of Pink is a day to celebrate equity, diversity and inclusion and to stand against bullying, especially when it is rooted in homophobia and transphobia.

On the second Wednesday of April, people around the world wear pink and stand in solidarity with 2SLGBTQQIA+ communities who continue to fight for acceptance and equality, as we all work towards building more inclusive and diverse spaces in our schools, workplaces and public facilities.
