The youth-led Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity, then known as Jer's Vision, has inspired the creationof the International Day of Pink held annually during the second week of Aprilto stop bullying in schools and communities.
The organization uses a model that is youth led; looks at concepts such as diversity inclusively & intersectionally; works to customize programming for communities; and seeks to engage everyone in a dialogue of diversity. In 2007, youth from Jer's Vision were inspired by David Shepherd and Travis Price to start the International Day of Pink. The initiative supports youth actions to stop bullying in schools and communities. In 2012, over 8 million people participate in the International Day of Pink.
