Day of (No) Silence

The Day of (No) Silence falls on the second Friday in April, creating a moment of quiet reflection and solidarity to raise awareness about the silencing effect of anti-LGBTQ+ bullying, harassment, and discrimination. It’s a day dedicated to honouring the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals who have been silenced or marginalised and advocating for safer and more inclusive spaces.

On the Day of (No) Silence, participants take a vow of silence to symbolise the silencing of LGBTQ+ voices due to bullying and harassment. Through this powerful act of solidarity, individuals and communities strive to promote acceptance, empathy, and understanding for LGBTQ+ individuals and allies.

To observe the Day of (No) Silence and raise awareness on your social media and digital platforms, here are some content ideas to consider:

• Share information about the Day of (No) Silence and its significance in combatting LGBTQ+ discrimination and bullying.
• Feature personal stories or testimonials from LGBTQ+ individuals and allies about their experiences with silence and resilience.
• Provide resources and support for LGBTQ+ youth, including helplines, counselling services, and LGBTQ+ advocacy organisations.
• Highlight initiatives and campaigns working to create safer and more inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ individuals in schools, workplaces, and communities.
• Encourage followers to take a vow of silence or participate in virtual events to show solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
