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.
