Wear It Purple Day was founded in 2010 in response to global stories of real teenagers, real heartache and their very real responses. In 2010, several rainbow young people took their own lives following bullying and harassment resulting from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity.
Wear It Purple strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.
Wear it Purple Day 2021’s theme is focused on the important and necessary conversations we have in our daily life; that centre around sexual orientation and gender identity. It aims to remind people that the issues we reflect on Wear it Purple Day should not only be considered on that particular day… but every day.
So join us this year, on August 27th, 2021 to celebrate Wear it Purple Day. Be part of a movement that has the potential to save thousands of lives. Be part of this change.
