Why do we use giraffes as metaphor for disability?

1. Reframing How People Perceive Disability:

Symbols that are commonly used to represent disability don’t actually represent the majority of disabled people. For example, the wheelchair icon only represents 1% of the world’s population.

Disabled people represent 16% of the world population, and this number is as high as 24% in a developed country like the UK where we have access to a public health service. Also, 80% of disabilities are invisible or hidden, meaning you cannot see them from looking at a person.

The saying in the disabled community goes; “if you have met one person with a disability, you have met one person with a disability”. You could say that about all of us humans, we have a shared lived experience as humans, but we are have our unique ways of thinking and doing things to - and we celebrate that!

2. Standing Tall Through Challenges:

Giraffes evolved long necks to reach nutritious leaves, thriving in harsh environments where others can’t. The disabled community tend to experience more barriers to success because the world is less likely to be set up for us. At The Disability Force, we help individuals and organisations discover unique solutions and overcome barriers, just like giraffes reaching for those hard-to-get acacia leaves.

3. Celebrating Individuality & Community:

Each giraffe’s coat is as unique as a human fingerprint. And did you know a group of giraffes can be called a tower or a journey? That resonates with our mission: we work together, the disabled and non-disabled, to create inclusive workplaces and alleviate the impact of disability for everyone, it’s journey we hope everyone will go on together!
