UN Free & Equal is joining forces with GLAAD to celebrate Spirit Day and the 30th anniversary of the Convention of the Rights of the Child – and we want YOU to join us!

Spirit Day is the largest, most visible LGBTI anti-bullying campaign in the world and joining is simple: On 17 October, wear something purple to work or to school and share a selfie on social media. Educate yourself about the human rights concerns of LGBTI youth. Change your profile picture to Spirit Day Purple. Share our new campaign video to initiate a conversation about LGBTI equality with your friends and family members. Spread the word far and wide that you are an ally of young LGBTI people – not just on Spirit Day but every day.
