Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week usually takes place in the week after Valentine’s Day, so in mid-February. During this time, aromantic people and communities often use social media to share information about their orientation and their experiences. The aim is to create a better understanding of aromanticism and the aromantic spectrum.

The awareness week helps reduce prejudice and makes it more visible that romantic attraction does not work the same way for everyone. It offers space for information, exchange and personal stories. In this way, more people can learn what it means to be aromantic or to be on the aromantic spectrum.
