July is Disabilities Pride Month!
A reminder that Disabled Individuals are still Sexual Individuals
"Disability Pride Month is observed every July to celebrate the diversity, culture, and rights of people with disabilities. It is a time to promote visibility, challenge outdated stereotypes, and honour the achievements and contributions of the disability community. More than just awareness, Disability Pride Month is a call to action for inclusion, accessibility, and equality."
What is disability pride awareness month & why it matters?
Over one billion people have disabilities worldwide, representing the most significant global minority and a wide range of generations, races, genders, sexual orientations, religions, and socio-economic backgrounds. Naturally, they seek and deserve to participate equally in society, including through digital experiences.
We all have a social responsibility to better our world and ensure inclusivity. We can all commit to celebrating the diverse backgrounds of people with disabilities and finding common ground. Start by creating fair play and equal grounds everywhere—off and online. That is the essence of Disability Pride Awareness Month.
"Disabled people are sexual beings, and deserve equal rights and opportunities to have control over, choices about, and access to their sexuality, sexual expression, and fulfilling relationships throughout their lives." ~ Sonali Shah
Here at Eve’s Garden we believe everyone should have access to pleasure. For many of us, simply the thought of exploration alone causes us pause, but for friends within the Disabled Community who are willing, it is the ACCESSIBILITY that causes pause.
We are not daring to call ourselves experts but we are here to assist whenever and however we can. Especially when it comes to any tools or toys of the trade that can be put to true good use.
Many Bondage and Kink gear can and has been used by those with Physical Disabilities and Sensory Disabilities. We advise you to speak to your doctor or health professional before truly jumping to the deep end [and this is for EVERYONE].
To Explore pleasure is a human right, and we shouldn’t neglect that right to pleasure. Regardless of how you exist in this world.
Studies have shown that a person’s Physical and Mental state can be much improved with a healthy sex life.
So whether this is Solo Exploration or Partner Play, we truly do want to be able to provide our community with access to Sexual Pleasure.
