Wear It Purple Day: Celebrating LGBTIQA+ Young People

You're invited to celebrate Wear It Purple Day and show your support for LGBTIQA+ young people.

Come grab a cupcake, wear something purple, and show your support for LGBTIQA+ young people.

Wear It Purple Day celebrates the right of every young person to be proud of who they are and who they are becoming. It began as a response to young people taking their lives after experiencing bullying and discrimination. Today, it's a global movement of visibility, pride, and support for LGBTIQA+ youth.

Event details:

• When: Thursday 28 August, 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
• Where: Ground Floor, Wallace Wurth Building
• What to wear: Anything purple 💜
• What’s on offer: Cupcakes, merch, and a chance to stand in solidarity with LGBTIQA+ youth.
• Bonus: We’ve got stickers for anyone who gets creative with their purple gear.

Volunteers from the UNSW Medicine & Health LGBTIQA+ Network Committee will be there to talk about the day and this year’s theme: Bold Voices, Bright Futures.

This is one of several events the Network runs throughout the year to foster inclusion and visibility. If you're interested in learning more, come say hello.

Hope to see you there,

The LGBTIQA+ Network Committee
