Ms Maureen McGovern:

To make a statement, I am proud to be a disabled person. I live with an impairment and my disability is my barrier. I just wanted to mention that first. I do not want to change in regard to my impairment.

In regard to capacity for disabled women at a local level, we need support and resources in order that we can build the capacity to be leaders within our community, which is very important. Those resources would obviously be extra funding for PAs and extra funding for equipment in order for disabled women to actually participate. I will certainly leave my contact details because I would have an awful lot to say about how agencies within local communities can engage better with disabled women.
