Thank you for making 2026 a success

Intersectionality Awareness Week 2026 ran from the 11th to 17th May. This was the second year we ran this awareness week, bringing together speakers, activists, and communities for a week of powerful conversations, live events, and shared experiences.

Furthermore, we designed every event to celebrate intersectional identities and drive meaningful change. View the events below, or visit our dedicated Intersectionality Awareness Week 2026 page for more information.

ParaPride founded Intersectionality Awareness Week to champion the empowerment and inclusion of disabled LGBTQIA+ people.

We exist because identity is never just one thing. Consequently, we work to ensure that people who are both disabled and LGBTQ+ have a space, a voice, and a community that sees them fully.

Intersectionality Awareness Week is one of the ways we put that mission into action on a global scale.
