The History Behind Pink Shirt Day
Pink Shirt Day emerged from a single act of kindness in Nova Scotia, Canada, back in 2007. Two high school students, David Shepherd and Travis Price, took a stand against bullying when they witnessed a classmate being harassed for wearing pink. They rallied their peers to wear pink shirts in solidarity, sparking a movement that has since spread worldwide. This simple yet powerful gesture aimed to challenge stereotypes and promote inclusivity, marking the birth of Pink Shirt Day.
Pink Shirt Day: An International Mission
What started as a local initiative has now become a global movement against bullying. Pink Shirt Day has transcended borders, resonating with people from diverse backgrounds who share a common goal: to eradicate bullying in all its forms. While various countries observe Anti-Bullying Day on different dates, February remains a focal point for raising awareness and taking action against bullying. Together, we can make a collective stand against this pervasive issue.
