Access All Services: understanding women with disabilities escaping violence

This Inclusion and Awareness workshop is focused on increasing the capacity
of community organisations to support women with disabilities escaping
domestic and family violence. Facilitators and speakers include women with
lived experience.

Workshop examines:

* What do we know about women with disabilities?
* What is the lived experience of disability?
* Disability and its intersection with gender and violence
* Institutionalisation
* What violence looks like for women with disabilities
* Understanding human rights and legislation
* Models of disability
* What does inclusion look like?
* Being inclusive - how can I do it?

This workshop is highly interactive and includes examples, question and
answer sessions, small group work, and individual worksheets and scenarios.
Participants will gain an understanding of barriers to accessing services
for women with disabilities escaping violence and good practice strategies
to address these barriers.
