Women with disabilities are twice as likely to experience violence as those without disabilities. This violence is often excused and ignored but it is preventable. We all have a role to play.
On International Day of Persons with Disabilities as part of 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, join Women with Disabilities Victoria online to learn about how gender and disability inequality drives violence, and how you can prevent it.
The training is co-facilitated by the Gender & Disability Experts by Experience Advocates, a group of women and non-binary people with diverse lived experiences of disability. It is evidence-based, aligning with the latest research on disability, WDV and Our Watch’s Changing the Landscape, and the Preventing Family Violence & Violence against Women Capability Framework.
