Good to see the #NDIS featuring in the election campaign. But, it must be understood that the NDIS covers less than 10% of people with #Disability in Aust. Parties must ALSO commit to full implementation of the Aust Disability Strategy 2021-2031 #ausvotes #auspol #CRPD

Women Enabled International #Covid had a disproportionate impact on women + women with disabilities. Those from minorities with disabilities, included high levels of violence, and our basic needs were ignored. #COSP15

It’s important to understand that for some women with #disability, they simply CAN’T leave. Particularly if the perpetrator is also their carer/support person. QandA WWDA

While #Australia has a number of laws, policies, frameworks, and service systems to prevent and address violence, many of these use narrow definitions of domestic and family violence which omit many of the #perpetrators of violence against #women with #disability. #QandA

Given that we are now in a time when violence against women is topical, how can we ensure that women with disability are included and that the forms of violence we experience are addressed? #NothingWithoutUs #QandA #WWDA
