Disabled Women, Activism and Politics Webinar
For women wanting to hear we hear about the experiences of Disabled women campaigners, activists and politicians.
Webinar: celebrating the brilliant work that Disabled women activists and campaigners do locally and nationally.
In this webinar, we hear about the experiences of Disabled women campaigners, activists and politicians. This webinar explores the ways in which campaigning, activism and politics interlink and looks at the various issues and concerns preventing Disabled women from seeking political office and progressing once they enter into politics. This webinar was hosted by disability rights and activist Amy Kavanagh and featured activists and campaigners Sarah Rennie and Eleanor Lisney and Emma Roddick MSP.
We want to explore the bridge between activism, campaigning and elected office. Disabled women activists are at the forefront of change. They know their community, and they fight for better. They make their voices heard and use policy, people power and networks to secure changes to legislation needed to better the lives of many people. These are the women who belong in elected office.
