Today marks the beginning of UK Disability History Month, running to December 16th, focusing on Disability, Children, and Youth. This prompts a reconsideration of how institutions engage with disabled youth, urging the media to adopt more non-stereotypical portrayals.

Disabled workers, on average, earn £3,460 less than non-disabled workers.

This means that they’ll work the equivalent of 47 days for free this year.

Today marks 'Disability Pay Gap Day' in the UK, exposing a shocking reality: disabled workers earn nearly £67 less per week than their non-disabled counterparts. To put it in perspective, that's more than the average household's weekly food bill of £62.20.

We agree with every word.

It's time to stop demonising people who draw on benefits.

Instead fix the policies that are stopping disabled people accessing the essentials everybody needs, every day.
