Video: Doing it!
A couple have to make a choice about contraception. What choices are there? Seems simple, but not for Jackie – who is disabled – and when the doctor you see is young, nervous and more confused than you are.
A Penny Pepper production with Sophie Partridge.
Feisty Disabled Women speak about what having adequate support means to Independent Living and how benefit cuts by the government will affect them
Please read Kate Belgrave’s
A nasty cut: people affected by the closure of the independent living fund
for her interviews with Sophie Partridge and Penny Pepper and how the government’s atrocious decision to close the Independent Living Fund (the ILF) will affect them.
Watch Sophie Partridge talking about the importance of funding people to live independently.
She says,
‘You know we can’t be cast as victims all the time. Its difficult we have to fight the good fight without appearing pathetic cripples, to be honest with you, its very hard to find the balance, actually, …because a lot of the stuff, the arguments against benefit cuts, they do use the word ‘vulnerable’ a hell of a lot…(written to David Cameron) its not my impairment which makes me vulnerable, it is your cuts, it is your policies..give us decent resources and we will add to your economy..we will play our part but we will have to have adequalte resources.
