Talk to us

Dear members /and allies

To echo the words of our president on the front page, the Board of Directors would like to be able to respond to your needs.

To achieve that, we would like to introduce this new section: communication to the editor. Here, you can share specific concerns about how being a woman with a disability affects you in all areas of your life. For example:

Let us know if adapted transport is getting better or worse.
Often, our lives are made difficult by bureaucracy and bureaucrats who lack specific knowledge. Is a government department giving you hassles?
Is your partner having a hard time understanding changes in your life?
Do you want to have a baby and wonder want that experience is like?
Are you a disabled lesbian/ bisexual who finds the gay community not so disability-friendly?

Also, let us know any tips and solutions- information that could help other women with disabilities.

For to be self-determined means we can choose what we want and find ways to express it.

But, the only way we can respond is if you let us know. Send us a letter your comments in whatever format you choose. We will publish them in our next newsletter.

Let us see how we can improve the world together.
