Support Wear it Purple: Join Us in Celebrating Diversity and Inclusion!
Welcome to the UQ Frazer Institute Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Committee's fundraising page ! We’re excited to champion the values of inclusion, respect, and support for LGBTQIA+ youth through our Wear it Purple Day initiative.
Wear it Purple Day is a nationwide event dedicated to fostering safe, empowering, and inclusive environments for young LGBTQIA+ individuals. By wearing purple, we stand in solidarity with those who may face challenges related to their identity, ensuring that they know they are seen, valued, and supported.
The Frazer Institute EDI Committee is committed to creating a community where everyone feels respected and celebrated for who they are. This event is particularly close to our hearts, as we strive to promote a culture of acceptance and understanding across the university and beyond. Your contribution will directly support initiatives that uplift and empower LGBTQIA+ youth, helping to create a brighter and more inclusive future.
By donating to our Wear it Purple campaign, you’re not just contributing to a cause—you’re joining a movement that champions diversity, inclusion, and the right for every young person to live authentically and without fear. Whether you’re a student, staff member, or community ally, your support is invaluable.
Thank you for standing with us and making a difference. Together, we can ensure that every young person feels proud to be who they are.

Wear it Purple Incorporated
Wear it Purple was founded in 2010 in response to young people taking their own lives as a result of bullying and harassment from the lack of acceptance of their sexuality or gender identity. We're a not-for-profit association with a purpose to foster supportive, safe and accepting enviroments for rainbow young people. Our Vision is for rainbow young people to not be disadvantaged by their enviroments, and for their wellbeing to be equal with their peers. Research is damning with 75% of LGBTIQ youth experiencing some form of discrimination. 61% experience verbal abuse, 19% experience physical bullying. 24.4% of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual people experience depression. 36.2% of Trans Australians experience depression. This compares to 6.8% of the general population who experience depression. Wear it Purple Day is held on the last Friday in August each year - this year being Friday 31st of August. In 2018 our theme is 'Empower Together' and we encourage all Australians to wear purple to show young LGBTIQ people they are loved, supported and empowered to bring their whole self to life.
