Disability is not a single story. It intersects with gender, sexuality, race, class, age, HIV status and many other parts of who we are.

#DisabilityJustice #PrideInEveryIdentity
Disability Justice is really political. It is all about being deliberate in our day to day organizing. How do Donors present themselves while giving grants to the Feminist movement? How do they include people with diabilities? Are they deliberate? Are they purposeful? How do we reach communities on ground and recognise that even within disability, there are groups that are marginalized for example refugees with disabilities, queer persons with disability. Disability Justice is aboult inclusivity, being deliberate and intentional. -Phyllis, Paricipant

Pride in Every Identity continues. In July, people across movements came together to reflect on identity, dignity, access and belonging. We are carrying those conversations forward by sharing the voices that shaped them.

#PrideInEveryIdentity #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs
Disability Justice is very intersectional. Hilda, Participant Disability Justice should mean no one is left behind especially when we are having conversations about the struggle for dignity, equality and freedom. Ideally, disability justice should recognize that many people hold multiple identities. They might be disabled, queer, young, come from a rural area, economically or otherwise marginalized. -Wanjiku, Participant

Quote text reads: “To me, Disability Pride is seeing, celebrating and standing together, also loudly embracing those with disabilities that are invisible, and those who are invisibilized. We are not the burdens, personality flaws or any of the dehumanizing labels placed on us. We are worthy, talented and beautiful, masterpieces of our own making who are lived embodiments of courage, spirit and empathy making the world a kinder place.” Quote attributed to Me Me Zin Oo, Queer, Disabled Intersectional Activist.

What does Disability Pride mean to you?

It’s being part of a community that supports each other. It’s standing up for what’s right in a world that can be unfair. It’s loving and accepting ourselves just the way we are.
