Why do we celebrate #DisabilityPrideMonth in July? While the movement started in the US in July 1990 to mark the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), the UK has its own rich, activist-led history. The UK passed the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) in 1995, and we have been officially celebrating Disability Pride here since 2014! Disability Pride Month in the UK celebrates the incredible diversity of our 16 million disabled people. Here is what the pride flag's colours represent: 🔴 RED - Physical disabilities. 🟡 YELLOW - Cognitive, intellectual, and neuro-divergent conditions. ⚪ WHITE - Invisible and undiagnosed disabilities. 🔵 BLUE - Psychiatric and mental health conditions. 🟢 GREEN - Sensory disabilities. Under the Social Model of Disability (pioneered right here in the UK), people aren't disabled by their impairments, but by a society that fails to build accessibly. #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityPride #DisabledAndProud #EveryoneCan #Accessibility #Inclusion
