Equity, Diversity and Inclusion on Campus

International Day of Pink 2025

April 3, 2025

International Day of Pink is celebrated every year on the second Wednesday in April. It’s a day to create a more inclusive and diverse world by challenging social norms and standing up against bullying towards their 2SLGBTQIA+ peers.

This year’s theme is Re-Emergence, which recognizes the brave actions of 2SLGBTQIA+ activists who have worked, and continue to work, toward creating safer, more inclusive communities.

International Day of Pink is a day to stand in solidarity with those who have faced discrimination due to their sexuality, gender identity, or gender expression. It’s a reminder of the ongoing fight for equality and acceptance.

At RRC Polytech, Campus Well-Being, in partnership with the Gender and Sexual Diversity Working Group, will host booths at both NDC and EDC to raise awareness and share resources.
