Europe Goes Purple Campaign
This year for the Intersex Awareness Weeks (26 Oct – 8 Nov) we join together with the Council of Europe SOGIESC Unit for the #EuropeGoesPurple campaign!
Sunday, 26 October marks Intersex Awareness Day 2025. Our Campaign #EuropeGoesPurple is a joint Council of Europe (SOGIESC Unit) & OII Europe initiative, for raising awareness, promote visibility, and celebrate solidarity with intersex people.
You can join us! We have prepared a range of ways to join the campaign, for this please visit the campaign website where you will find more information and details:
Toolkits for NGO’s and Institutions
A Visual Style Guide for Social Media posts
A Lighting Guide for illuminating building and landmarks
The #EuropeGoesPurple campaign uses purple lighting on buildings and landmarks to raise visibility and show solidarity with intersex people. Illuminating landmarks transforms familiar spaces into symbols of community, unity, and shared values, highlighting human rights and social causes. Inspired by Ireland’s successful #IrelandTurnsPurple initiative, the campaign aims to affirm intersex people, demonstrate that their rights matter, and foster public awareness and discussion across Europe and beyond.
