DAWN Canada Hosts Intersectional Human Rights Forum

Please consider attending this important event that will explore intersectional human rights. This event, and the project supporting it, is aimed at meaningful, equitable, and intersectional human rights practices for disabled and Deaf women. 

I'll be speaking on a panel in the morning sharing the results of ongoing project research. This includes existing barriers, findings, and promising practices in human rights and equity education and programming.  

 

More Than A Footnote: A Research Report on Women and Girls with Disabilities in Canada

Released to coincide with International Women's Day, More Than A Footnote: A Research Report on Women and Girls with Disabilities in Canada, examines the critical barriers women and girls with disabilities continue to face in Canada. 

The report covers a number of issues through an intersectional lens including: high rates of violence and victimization, poverty, homelessness, barriers to education, employments etc. 

Be sure to read more about the report and learn more about DAWN Canada's important work in this area.
