Bringing disabled women together, mobilising
and sharing through lived experiences
Disabled Women’s Panel at FIL: sunday 25th 12.30-2pm Hilton Metropole Hotel, London
Too often are disabled women absent from the mainstream feminist discourse. We are often invisible. Here we will be speaking on a range of topics from the views of young disabled women from Becky, on politics and advisory roles from Kirsten, on violence against women and girls (Asha will be speaking from an international level and Rebecca on a UK/European level), the impact of austerity from FrancesRyan. And all of them will also speak from a personal level too.
