Feb 22 2023 is Pink Shirt Day – a day to raise awareness about the effects of bullying at school and in the workplace.

In a world where you can be anything, be kind.

Why and how did Pink Shirt Day start?
The pink shirt campaign began in 2007 in Nova Scotia, when two grade 12 students witnessed a grade 9 student being bullied for wearing a pink shirt. As a result, the older students bought and distributed pink shirts to other students, and within a few days, over 400 were wearing them in support of the bullied student. The movement soon spread to other schools within the area, then throughout Nova Scotia and, eventually, across the world. Now recognized by the United Nations, Pink Shirt Day is acknowledged in more than 25 countries.

What is the impact of childhood bullying in adulthood and the workplace?
While Pink Shirt Day started in the school system, bullying doesn’t always start or stop there – in fact, it extends to and occurs in many workplaces. The lasting trauma of bullying cannot be denied. When children are bullied, the impact can, and often does, continue into adulthood. A 2015 online poll conducted by the Angus Reid Institute showed that 75% of the 1,500 Canadian adults surveyed experienced bullying at school. The fact that they remember this experience is itself telling.
