Pink Shirt Day Highlights
Pink Shirt Day – February 24, 2021
Pink Shirt Day is a globally-recognized day to raise awareness about bullying which is a major problem in our schools, workplaces, homes, and online. Pink Shirt Day aims to raise awareness of these issues. The day began as a simple act of kindness, demonstrated by youth from a small town in Nova Scotia, Canada. Two teenage boys took a stand against classmates who were bullying another boy for wearing a pink shirt. They brought pink shirts for all of the boys in Grade 9 to wear on the same day, to show solidarity with the boy who had been bullied. The movement has now taken off and is recognized across the globe in a show of solidarity.
Pink Shirt Day 2021 is about working together and treating others with respect and dignity. We are working to raise awareness of bullying prevention and highlight where to turn if in need of help.
Follow the following hashtags on social media to learn more about this important movement #PinkShirtDay and #WhereToTurn.
