In the tradition of Disability Pride, we seek to to reclaim identity, instil pride and reduce stigma. Like other Disability Pride events across the globe, we seek to turn current treatment and attitudes towards disability on their heads. We seek to make our culture one where people with disabilities are welcomed as part of human diversity.
Through our social media presence, activities and systemic advocacy, we seek to secure a cultural change in Sydney by bringing the international disability pride movement to Australia’s shores.
The organisers of Disability Pride Sydney are all volunteers with disabilities living in the Sydney area.
