WHAT IS WEAR IT PURPLE® DAY? 

On the last Friday in August, all over Australia, workplaces, schools and organisations wear purple in response to the alarming rate of bullying LGBTQIA+ youth still face. 

IN 2023 

The past year has been pretty challenging
for LGBTQIA+ youth, withan increase in news and media stories about discrimination, often directly targeting queer young people. 

It’s more important than EVER to stand against discrimination, and to stand with LGBTQIA+ youth.
