International Lesbian Visibility Day takes place annually on 26 April, and is part of Lesbian Visibility Week (Monday 22 April to Sunday 28 April), which celebrates and commemorates the achievements of a marginalised group of people.
Lesbian Visibility Day was first celebrated in 2008 when it was founded by American activist Amy Ellis. It is now celebrated around the world and is a reminder of how far we have come in terms of LGBTQ+ rights and equality whilst also reminding us that we should all strive for equality regardless of our sexual orientation or gender identity.
