Day of Silence

The Day of Silence is a student-led observance that promotes awareness of the challenges faced by lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) individuals, particularly around issues of bullying and discrimination. Participants usually refrain from speaking for a day to symbolize the silencing of marginalized voices and to advocate for a more inclusive environment. The event aims to foster understanding, empathy, and support for LGBTQ+ rights, encouraging discussions about diversity and acceptance in schools and communities.
