The Day of Silence is an annual day of action to spread awareness about the effects of the bullying and harassment of LGBTTQ+ students.

Students take a vow of silence in an effort to encourage schools and classmates to address homophobia and transphobia by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying and harassment on LGBTTQ+ students and those perceived to be LGBTTQ+.
