At Intimata, we are excited to join the global celebration of the Week of Visibility for Non-Monogamy. Coordinated by the Organization for Polyamory and Ethical Non-monogamy (OPEN), this movement-wide week of action is dedicated to amplifying non-monogamous voices, identities, and experiences in order to dismantle stereotypes and promote acceptance.

The Week of Visibility is a vital opportunity to educate, advocate, and celebrate love in all its forms to advance rights and acceptance for non-monogamous families and relationships.
