What went wrong at the International Disability Alliance (IDA)? At the start of the year an independent review found “signals of mismanagement” and alleged “abuse of power” by its leadership. Around $850,000 was identified as “financial irregularities”. 1/

The root cause of unemployment among disabled is the belief that disabilities are defects. Also the misguided notion … when a candidate does not fit the mainstream idea of how a disabled person appears. And so people with mental illnesses & invisible disabilities are rejected.

This World Mental Health Day, we're focusing on the workplace. For disabled people, access to work itself is a critical issue that impacts their well-being. Speaking to disabled people from India, I highlight the ways they try to make work accessible for themselves and others

I write Disability Debrief to put a “disability lens” on world news. For me this means connecting lived experience with wider issues of policy and activism. See more about what I mean: disabilitydebrief.org/debrief/world-… #AXSChat

Learning from twitter has shaped a lot of my life and career over the more than a decade I've been on here. Keeping up with disability twitter led to my current project writing about international news. But it's time to find new homes. Find me on Peter Torres Fremlin / @desibility.bsky.social.bsky.social
