About the Week of Visibility

The global Week of Visibility is a movement-wide week of action that aims to amplify non-monogamous voices, identities, and experiences in order to dismantle stereotypes and promote acceptance. Launched in 2023 as a Day of Visibility, this year’s celebration is being expanded into a full week to create more space to educate, advocate, and celebrate! The Week of Visibility is being organized by participants from across the non-monogamy movement, with coordination by OPEN (Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy).

Why Visibility Matters

In a world where non-monogamy remains highly stigmatized and misunderstood, visibility is a powerful tool for promoting acceptance. That’s because people are more likely to accept groups and identities when they see or know people from those communities! The Week of Visibility for Non-monogamy is an opportunity to stand up and speak out about our identities and experiences. By spotlighting and humanizing diverse family and relationship structures, we can foster understanding and acceptance in order to build a more inclusive and loving world.
