Anti-Bullying Day, also known as Pink Shirt Day, is celebrated annually on the last Wednesday of February. The day began as a symbol of solidarity with victims of bullying and was inspired by the story of two high school students in Canada who organized a rally to support a classmate who was bullied for wearing a pink shirt. Wearing pink on this day has become a powerful symbol of resistance to aggression.
