International Day of Pink

International Day of Pink is observed every year on the second Wednesday of April. The Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) observes International Day of Pink annually by highlighting student-based anti-bullying initiatives.

International Day of Pink started when a Nova Scotia teen was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. His fellow students rallied by all wearing pink and showed their solidarity against the discrimination of 2SLGBTQ+ students.

This day encourages young people to challenge social norms, ask more of their educators, and stand up against bullying and systemic discrimination.
