Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week

Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week, held annually during the first full week after Valentine’s Day starting Sunday, is all about raising awareness about aromanticism – a spectrum where people experience little to no romantic attraction, regardless of their sexual orientation. It’s no accident that this week coincides with a time typically focused on romantic love – which is often portrayed as being synonymous with success and happiness.

This week is a mash-up of activities and educational campaigns aimed at broadening our understanding and acceptance of aromantic people. It’s about respecting different experiences of love and attraction, and normalising the absence of romantic feelings. Spreading this message helps combat misconceptions about aromanticism, and promotes the message that all forms of emotional connections are equally valued. After all, doesn’t everyone have the right to feel seen and accepted, regardless of where they sit on the romantic or aromantic spectrum? Yup. We think so!
