Purple Light Up

A Visible Sign for Disability Confidence

On December 3rd - the International Day of Persons with Disabilities - companies committed to inclusion send a clear message. It is about more than awareness - it is about recognition and striving for equal and self-determined participation for everyone.

We invite you to be part of this movement! As an innovative company, show that you are actively committed to inclusion and accessibility. The global campaign #PurpleLightUp lights the way: Let us together put the colour purple in the spotlight as a symbol for the strength and diversity of people with disabilities.

myAbility supports the campaign in German-speaking countries as an official partner of PurpleSpace UK. We offer you the platform to make a decisive statement. Join in and actively shape the change!

The Purple Light Up campaign was launched in 2017 in England by Kate Nash and PurpleSpace and uses the colour purple to make a visible statement for inclusion and diversity worldwide. It aims to make people with disabilities more visible and draw attention to the issue.

PurpleLightUp takes place annually around December 3rd - the International Day of Persons with Disabilities - and focuses on economic empowerment, economic participation and the contribution of people with disabilities.

Companies, associations, organisations and private individuals are invited to participate in the campaign with various purple actions and to publicly advocate for more inclusion, accessibility and equal opportunities in the economy and the world of work. The purple actions of the participants range from lighting up buildings to various contributions on social media to internal and external events.

Show that your company recognises the contribution of employees and customers with disabilities to the company's success and stand up for an inclusive and accessible economy!
