Pink Shirt Day (February 26, 2025)

Pink Shirt Day, recognized on the last Wednesday of February every year, is a day dedicated to raising awareness about bullying and promoting kindness and inclusivity. This annual event originated in Nova Scotia in 2007 when two students organized a protest in support of a fellow student who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt to school. Since then, Pink Shirt Day has grown into a global movement where people wear pink shirts as a symbol of standing up against bullying and spreading positivity.

On Pink Shirt Day, individuals and organizations around the world come together to show their support for creating safe and respectful environments for everyone. Schools, workplaces, and communities often organize events and activities to educate people about the impact of bullying and the importance of fostering a culture of empathy and acceptance. By wearing pink shirts on this day, participants demonstrate their commitment to building a more compassionate society where everyone feels valued and respected.
