The Bisexual Awareness Week, also known as #BiWeek, is an annual celebration week held in September, from September 16th through the 23rd.[1] It is an extension of Celebrate Bisexuality Day, held annually on September 23.[2] The celebration promotes cultural acceptance of the bisexual community as well as attempts to create a platform for advocating bisexual rights.[2][3]
According to a 2013 Pew Research Center survey, bisexuals represent approximately 40% of the LGBTQ community.[4] Bisexual Awareness Week is a platform to recognise bisexual and LGBTQ advocacy throughout history.[5]
History
Bisexual Awareness Week was co-founded by GLAAD and BiNet USA to educate people on obstacles faced by the bisexual community, as well as to set policies that ensure bisexual acceptance and social integration.[6][7]
