The protest incites silence for making the voices of the boys heard. After the day of silence, the day ends with the stories of the experiences of the children who aim to promote a more inclusive attitude in their schools.
Nearly 9 in 10 #LGBTQ+ students experience verbal harassment in school. On 04/23, students will participate in @GLSEN‘s #DayofSilence to show their support for LGBTQ+ students and their right to safety at school.
