International Day of Pink HistoryInternational Day of Pink aims to promote solidarity against all forms of bullying, discrimination, homophobia, and transphobia. Its purpose is to initiate proactive measures that foster social equity and respect, particularly targeting education systems. In essence, this observance encourages empathy, understanding, and inclusivity in communities worldwide. Dating back to 2007 in Canada, the inspiration for International Day of Pink emerged following a bullying incident at a Nova Scotia high school. The victim was targeted for wearing a pink shirt and two students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand by distributing pink shirts to their fellow students. This silent yet impactful protest sparked a nationwide dialogue on the seriousness of bullying. For Canada, International Day of Pink serves as a reminder of tolerance and acceptance, reinforcing the nation's commitment to fostering safe and inclusive environments for everyone, irrespective of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation. International Day of Pink is observed with various awareness-raising activities carried out by schools, workplaces, and community organizations. These often include wearing pink clothing or accessories as a symbol of participation and solidarity, holding educational workshops, and sharing resources to better understand and counteract bullying dynamics. International Day of Pink takes place annually on the second Wednesday of April, reflecting on Canada's stance for diversity and inclusivity. Facts about International Day of Pink
