Day of Pink

Hey there! This is Mod R, coming to talk to you about April 10th Day of Pink.

What is the Day of Pink you ask? Well, it is a worldwide day for anti-bullying and anti-homophobia. The aim is to raise awareness to end bullying, but the bullying of LGBTQIA+ individuals is targeted. It started when a gay highschool student was witnessed being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. To show support, the students who saw the bullying got everyone at their school to wear pink shirts the next day.

The first international Day of Pink was held in 2007, and is sometimes referred to as ‘Pink Day’ or ‘Anti-Bullying Day’.

If you want to know more about this day, feel free to ask us, or there are plenty of online sources which have more information!

International Day of Pink

I do like the color pink but it's not really my favorite color. Pink is a vivid and happy color. Its attractiveness differs from person to person. Pink is often connected with qualities such as female gender, love, and tenderness. There are many things that are color pink like flowers such as pink roses, pink peonies, and cherry blossoms; animals such as flamingoes, pink dolphins and pigs; and foods such as dragon fruit, raspberries and strawberry ice cream. There are also pink cartoon characters like

Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony

Kirby from Nintendo

My Melody from Sanrio

Piglet from Winnie the Pooh

Princess Aurora

Courage the Cowardly Dog

JigglyPuff from Pokémon

Today is International Day of Pink! This global movement is a stand against bullying and homophobia.

We need to continue providing safer inclusive spaces for all individuals to access, regardless of how they identify. Creating safer inclusive spaces is harm reduction, and it has lasting impacts to individuals supported.

Let's work together to create inclusive safer spaces. Let's be kind to each other. Let's challenge what is the hegemonic norm. Together we can make a difference! 💙💛💗

International Day of Pink 

This day uses the color pink to raise awareness and fight against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny across the world.

The International Day of Pink is set up as an International Day against bullying, discrimination, homophobia, transphobia, and transmisogyny in cities and towns all across the world. On this day, everyone is invited to celebrate diversity by wearing a pink shirt and by organizing activities in their workplaces, schools, and communities in support of the day.

History of the International Day of Pink

The International Day of Pink was started in Nova Scotia, Canada, when two straight high school students saw a gay student being bullied because he was wearing a pink shirt. The two students intervened at the moment, but they also wanted to do more to prevent homophobic and transphobic bullying in their school.

In a stroke of creative genius, these two young men decided to purchase pink shirts and wear them. Not only that, but a few days later they also got almost everyone else at their school to arrive wearing pink, standing in solidarity for anti-bullying. The result was that an entire school took a stand and began working together to prevent bullying of any type, particularly related to homophobia and transphobia.

The International Day of Pink campaign has continued to grow. It is now an international anti-bullying campaign that thrives in schools, workplaces, and communities. The International Day of Pink and the conversations, awareness, and acceptance that stem from it are making a real difference in the lives of queer and trans youth. So this is just the day to wear pink, spark some conversations, and inspire acceptance.

How to Celebrate International Day of Pink

You can enjoy observing and celebrating International Day of Pink in a variety of ways, including ideas like these:

Wear a Pink Shirt for the Day

Wearing a pink shirt means more than just a one-day thing, of course! Because it stands as a commitment to allyship that spans the rest of the year through. It’s true that wearing a pink shirt on April 11th is an important first step, though. It shows that people stand together with those who have been bullied, especially with those who have been bullied or harassed in school for their sexual orientation or gender identity.

Get Educated About Bullying

One of the best ways to be supportive of International Day of Pink is to get educated about what bullying is, how to prevent it or what to do if it does happen. Some valuable information can be gained through the Stop Bullying website.

Attend an International Day of Pink Event

Those who are interested in celebrating the International Day of Pink may want to consider joining in with a community event in honor of the day. In fact, many events will be happening all weekend or even all week long in some communities, not just on the day!

Different events to participate in might include flash mobs, comedy shows, fundraisers, educational lectures and fun runs and so much more! Other resources available on the Day of Pink website include pins, buttons and much more.

Get an International Day of Pink Tool Kit

If you want to host an event or show your support for International Day of Pink, you can visit the official Day of Pink website (in English or French) to get access to a toolkit that will help you connect. T-shirts can be ordered from the site. Plus, get virtual stickers and GIFS to add to social media content, as well as supportive backgrounds that can be used for video calls. And the printable posters are absolutely adorable as well!

Make an Anti-Bullying Donation

One great way to make a difference in the International Day of Pink cause is to make a donation to charities that help provide support to the anti-bullying cause. Here are some important anti-bullying charities that might be able to use some support:

STOMP Out Bullying. The leading anti-bullying non-profit organization in the United States, it’s dedicated to making a culture change among kids and teens.

The Trevor Project. Offering counseling help to teens who identify as LGBTQ in the US.

Kind Campaign. This non profit organization, along with documentaries, started in 2009 when college students wanted to help others who were bullied.

Become an Ally for Anti-Bullying

Many people don’t think of the fact that the word ally is not only a noun, but it is also a verb. To ally oneself with someone is to be listening and learning about how to care and support people from different backgrounds or places. It is essential to work year-round to stand up not just for others, but with them.

It is only with this year-round commitment that the human race can make real progress towards eliminating bullying and discrimination in all communities. For instance, if you see someone in your community being bullied, whether that’s the schoolyard or the office, it’s time to step up and say something.

Only by being active and continuing the discussion about bullying can anyone hope to put an end to this harmful practice and help make the world a safer place for everyone in it.

🌼Happy ILD!!🌼

I went to the biggest meet up that I've ever been to! There were 50 people there!! We had a raffle and a lunch that was really nice. It was so cool meeting so many new people and everyone looked so pretty!

Captain Chris is wearing some doll clothes that I found last night. My mom says that that dress could be 60 or 70 years old! I wish AATP would make Chris clothing the same way they have Kumya clothing.

I'm sad that these photos don't show the back of my hat because there are sunflowers all around the crown of my hat, hence why I have the yellow flowers in my hair.
