SPIRIT DAY October 19, 2023
Spirit Day, or spirit day if literally translated into French, is a day of awareness of LGBTQI+ issues every year on the third Thursday of the month of October. This day was established in 2010 following a wave of harassment which led to the suicide of many homosexual students.
This day therefore aims to prevent suicidal behavior among young LGBTQI+ people, and to highlight the seriousness of harassment, in the case where the victims are LGBTQI+ people. The day sees many people supporting these young people wearing purple clothing.
