The disabled community is often invisible and are a vulnerable community. We’re often ignored, underestimated and pride is a way of drawing attention.
Disability discrimination is rife in schools and work, with many having to attend tribunals Disabled people are at elevated risk of crime victimisation including sexual violence, assault and domestic abuse. They’re at increased risk of mental health issues and even suicide
There’s the knock on effect as well, including strain on parents of disabled children.
Pride gives us a voice, and raises awareness about how we’re mistreated. It’s also a way for us to be positive about ourselves. My disability gives me skills and strengths others don’t, but many can’t see past the negatives of my disability.
