Wear It Purple Day 2024 

Celebrating rainbow young people for Wear It Purple Day! 

Hope Street celebrated Wear It Purple Day across the different service locations, as well as at the Pride Centre in St Kilda. Wear It Purple Day strives to build supportive, safe, empowering and inclusive environments for rainbow young people.  

There is a higher risk of experiencing homelessness for rainbow young people. Hope Street upholds that all young people have a right to safe and secure housing and deserve to be celebrated and supported by the community.  

Hope Street activities included wearing it purple, enjoying purple treats, as well as fostering conversations about the importance of delivering high quality inclusive accommodation and services. 

Hope Street also expanded its resources with additional queer themed books for our youth inclusive spaces.  Hope Street is committed to enhancing inclusivity of rainbow   young people so they can experience safety and a sense of belonging.  

Hope Street matches this year’s theme, ‘Your Passion, Your Pride,’ all year round by ensuring all our youth refuge spaces are inclusive and celebrate queer young people.
