International We Are Not Broken Day is observed worldwide every January 17. This day was created to celebrate individuals who have overcome or are living with physical and emotional trauma, mental illness, or disease. It aims to challenge the harmful label of being "broken" that is often associated with trauma survivors, emphasizing that trauma should not define a person's identity. The day was launched by the organization We Are Not Broken, founded in 2019 by Nichola “Nick” Cotto, who sought to empower women to embrace their scars and celebrate their resilience. Activities on this day include learning about the effects of trauma, sharing personal stories, and supporting charities that assist trauma-affected individuals. Participants are encouraged to use social media to spread positive messages and the hashtags #InternationalWeAreNotBrokenDay and #WeAreNotBroken.
