For the last month, I’ve been following a Home Office centre for disabled asylum seekers. There are security guards but no care staff. Some residents are paraplegic but don’t have wheelchairs. One woman begs strangers for food. In tomorrow’s The Guardian theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

📢New blog from Brigitte Rohwerder and me on #ParticipatoryResearch and #InclusiveEducation based on a presentation we gave in Sept at the #UKFIET conference where we spoke about our work with #InclusiveFutures. 🧵A thread detailing five critical considerations:

New report by Human Rights Watch documents the harrowing experiences of people w. #disabilities in Gaza who are unable to flee attacks, access water, food, sanitation, and the assistive devices and medication they so desperately need. It wasn’t easy to document this. hrw.org/news/2023/11/0…

This was one of the hardest research I've done at Human Rights Watch. Iman and her sister have a hearing #Disability and it was SO important to them to be heard. Please watch this video and share widely. We are also working on making this video more accessible!

FCDO is co-hosting a learning webinar with #InclusiveFutures, sharing experiences from collaborating with organisations of people with disabilities in FCDO-funded work. 🔗 Register to attend the virtual panel on 4 December, 10.00 AM – 11.30 AM GMT: myt-uk.zoom.us/webinar/regist…

There is a lot of pain in here but there is also a vision for freedom and so much determination. It's a call for us internationally to stop looking away.

In this new #OpenAccess article published in Social Inclusion, I worked with Brigitte Rohwerder & Dolon Mukherjee to investigate the lived experiences of people by exploring how aspects of their identity intersect to influence their #inclusion or #exclusion within society.

Children with disabilities in Gaza have nowhere to go and are struggling to escape Israel’s bombs. And UNICEF estimates about 1,000 children have suffered limb amputations since Israel’s attacks began.

Rape & sexual violence happen in almost every conflict - and recent reports from Israel, Ukraine, Tigray, the DRC (etc) show it's as prevalent as ever in modern warfare - understanding why is central to preventing & prosecuting it
