A small group of University of Cape Town (UCT) students and staff have teamed up with civil society organisations and high profile individuals to create It Gets Better – Cape Town, a collection of 18 It Gets Better videos.
It Gets Better was launched in the US in 2010 by American syndicated columnist and author Dan Savage, with his partner Terry Miller. They were responding to the suicide of a number of students who were being bullied in school. The videos, targeted especially at young people who are considering suicide, explain that their lives will "get better".
Since the first video, the It Gets Better Project has become a worldwide movement, inspiring more than 25 000 user-created videos that have been viewed more than 40 million times.

Mission
RainbowUCT is a student society at the University of Cape Town. It is a society run entirely by students, and exists for all people who appreciate sexual diversity. We celebrate and promote an individual’s right to choose their own lifestyle. We offer support to people coming to terms with their own sexuality and strive to create an environment that is accepting, tolerant and free of homophobia both on our campus and in the wider community. Additionally, we promote activism and education within these communities, and organise various social events throughout the year.
