Wear it Purple is an international day of recognition held on the last Friday in August. It strives to foster supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for LGBTIQ+ people everywhere. Wear it Purple Day is an International movement with a simple key message — Everybody has the right to be proud of who they are. The theme for 2026 is Colours of Courage – recognising that courage is not just expressed in big moments, but in everyday choices to live proudly and invite others into understanding, acceptance and celebration.
