Ukraine invasion by Russia: #disability rights in times of unrest and war - powerful article in ⁦Disability Horizons⁩ disabilityhorizons.com/2022/02/ukrain…

The words “special needs” to describe disabled people is burden-shifting. It assigns a burden to the human needs of disabled people. Disabled people are not the burden. Ableism is the burden.

Powerful piece which should be compulsory reading for everyone on the need for a cultural shift against sexism, misogyny, lad culture and victim blaming in order to tackle violence against women and girls

I’m biased but @PaulJReilly has done a great interview for The Irish Times Podcast on social media during the Twelfth - well worth a listen

It’s disgraceful that many venues are still not accessible to disabled people despite excellent work by ⁦Euan's Guide⁩ Attitude is Everything⁩ and many other orgs. We have lives to lead and money to spend so don’t forget or ignore us! apple.news/AcT2m0nehRzeat…
