This post is a day late, but better late than never, right? ;-) The 8th of March is International Women's Day.
"International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women in the past, present and future. It is a day when women are recognised for their achievements regardless of divisions, whether national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political."
"International Women's Day, however, is both a day to celebrate and a day to draw attention to the challenges that remains before gender equality is truly realised." (From International Women's Day Australia
Women with disabilities are one of the most marginalised groups of women around the world, we are more vulnerable to abuse, poverty and institutionalization than ablebodied women or men with disabilities, regardless of what country we live in.
Regardless, many women with disabilities around the world have been and are continuing to demand a better life for all women with disabilities. We are celebrating our achievements in the face of great prejudice and discrimination. This video exemplifies that celebration.
Enjoy!
