The Bisexual Awareness Week, also known as BiWeek, is an annual celebration week held in September, on the week containing the 23rd, which is Celebrate Bisexuality Day.[1][2] The celebration promotes acceptance of the bisexual community as well as attempts to create a platform for advocating bisexual rights.[3]

Bisexuals represent more than 50% of the LGBTQ community. Bisexual Awareness Week is a platform to recognise bisexual and LGBTQ advocacy throughout history.[4] Following the creation of Bisexuality day, GLAAD co-founded the Bisexual Awareness Week to educate people on obstacles faced by the bisexual community, as well as to set policies that ensure bisexual acceptance and social integration.[5]
