Honoured to be part of the taskforce for the German periodic review constructive dialogue #crpd the challenge is to protect rights and recognise the ableism inherent in specialised segregated systems⌠letâs hope itâs challenge accepted UNSW Law & Justice UNSW Disability Innovation Institute Theresia Degener



4.5 years evidence from thousands, and media donât get it. Todayâs photo. Reducing us to our impairments. We are disembodied, pathologised, equated to the sum $ of the NDIS. The courage, the strength the call for human rights is so much more #DisabilityRights The New Daily


Iâd like to thank everyone for their generous congratulations on my appointment to Australian Human Rights Commission thereâs a significant agenda in front of us and I look forward to working with you all #DisabilityRights #crpd #humanrights ministers.ag.gov.au/media-centre/aâŚ




Women with #disability play a leading role advocating for the rights of women and girls with disability in many social movements and I acknowledge and thank them for their work #WomensRights #DisabilityRights #InternationalWomensDay #crpd Australian Human Rights Commission

Four & half years of deeply personal & traumatic evidence and the underwhelming response is âbusiness as usualâ #DisabilityRC #DisabilityRoyalCommission #CRPD Australian Human Rights Commission humanrights.gov.au/about/news/medâŚ

So disappointing kids with disability let down. #DisabilityRoyalCommission rec 8.22 raising age criminal responsibility to 14 over-representation of kids with disability in criminal justice system.

Good to see Aviation White Paper acknowledge discrimination and undignified treatment weâve experienced and recognise the importance of broader reform to the DDA for stronger regulatory framework #towards2050âď¸ âŚ#auspol âŚâŚâŚAustralian Human Rights Commission⊠infrastructure.gov.au/department/medâŚ

I acknowledge @billshortenmp & his role in the #NDIS, listening to people with #disability understanding we deserve an equal place in our society. âHe did it his wayâ, and we may not have always agreed, but he deserves recognition for this lasting legacy theguardian.com/australia-newsâŚ
