NSW,
Australia — The Physical Disability
Council (PDCN) has been awarded a grant by the
NSW Department For Women to establish a
Women
With Disability Network in
NSW.
Working with our
organisational partner, the Multicultural
Disability Advocacy Association, we will support
participants to create and sustain an autonomous
network that opens up a space for women with
disability to come together as a force for
change.
In New South
Wales:
- More than half of all
people with disability are women.
- Almost 20 per cent of
all women have a disability.
Today, on International
Women’s Day, we send our best wishes and
greetings to women everywhere. We hope that our
Women With Disability Network will develop over
the course of the year ahead to make a positive
contribution to the lives of all
women.
Women participating in the
Network will be joining the Women’s Day
March and Rally in Sydney on Saturday, March
13th. If you want to join us there, meet at
Sydney Town Hall at 10.30 a.m. The march leaves
at 11.30 a.m. for a rally at Hyde Park.
We’ll be hanging out in the park during the
speeches. Bring lunch and join us for the
afternoon.
