We celebrate Disability Pride Month every July. It’s an important moment for disabled people to come together as a community. An opportunity to share experiences and start conversations.
It’s a celebration of the creativity, resilience, and achievements of disabled people.
Disability Pride Month is for anyone who is disabled – or anyone who wishes to show their allyship by celebrating their disabled communities, like businesses.
It's a time for embracing disability identity positively. And challenging the negative attitudes that hold disabled people back.
The Disability Pride Flag was designed by Ann Magill. The rainbow of colours on the disability pride flag represents the various experiences and needs within the disabled community. Such as non-visible, sensory, physical, developmental and mental impairments and conditions.
The banded arrangement of the colours represents the barriers many disabled people face and have to navigate through.
This is what each colour represents:
Red
Physical impairments and conditions
Gold
Neurodiversity
White
Non-visible and undiagnosed impairments and conditions
Blue
Emotional and psychiatric conditions, including mental health, anxiety and depression
Green
Hearing impaired, vision impaired, audio processing and all other sensory impairments and conditions
Charcoal
The charcoal background is to represent people in the community who have experienced ableism, and to protest against this
