Disability Cultural Center, Women's Leadership Resource Center, and Undergraduate Student Government collaborate to present our next Shape It Up workshop.
Date/Time: Wednesday March 11 from 3-4:30pm
Location: WLRC programming room (1101 W Taylor Street, Room 310)
Title: Disability and Gender-Based Violence
Join us for this interactive workshop as we discuss the following questions:
I. What problems do we create when we decouple disability and sex/sexuality?
II. What particular vulnerabilities do people with disabilities face?
III. How do we break the cycle of silence?
IV. What does allyship and cross-disability solidarity look like?
Please join us for this critical dialogue.
