News Reflections on ‘Disabled Women on the Frontline’: An International Women’s Day Event By Yewande Omoniyi-Akintelu, ALLFIE Office Volunteer On 26 March 2021, ALLFIE held an online event with partners Inclusion London, Sisters of Frida and guests. The aim was to explore the issues for Disabled Women on the frontline, as well as to amplify our voices and celebrate the contributions of Disabled Women and Girls within the Disability Rights Movements.
“We, as Disabled women occupy a very interesting place. We are at the frontline, often, of discrimination and inequality, also often at the multiple intersections of race, class, gender, and disability, but we are also at the frontline of change and our struggle for social justice” (Tracey Lazard: Co-Chair)
