International Lesbian Day is held annually on October 8. It's an opportunity for lesbians, their families and friends to connect, celebrate and raise awareness about the importance of community.
This day is dedicated to uplifting lesbians around the globe. We come together to celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture and beautiful diversity across communities.
International Lesbian Day is a call to action to ensure that the rights and needs of the lesbian community are met and that their voices are heard.
We recognise the progress made in the fight for equality and honour the resilience and strength of our lesbian community.
In Victoria, we’re committed to breaking down the barriers for everyone in the LGBTIQA+ community. We want to create an equal and inclusive world for all.

Happy International Lesbian Day!
