Ace Week is an annual event that puts asexuality in the spotlight (founded as Asexual Awareness Week in 2010). This week celebrates the community while helping to create greater understanding and acceptance. Of note, ace refers to identities that fit within the asexual spectrum, and to the individuals that hold them.

Ace identities are often overlooked or misunderstood, and many aces still grow up not realizing that asexuality is an option. Since the issues aces face are directly influenced by their other marginalized identities, many in this community—especially aces of color, disabled aces, and aces with other LGBTQ+ identities—can face significant barriers to equality and acceptance.
