Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters
Nothing About Us Without Us - Achieving Equal Rights and Equity for Women with Disabilities: Discussion
Ms Selina Bonnie:
Yes, I have a few points to make. Please value our lived experience, stop assuming that our needs are special and recognise us as innovators. Disabled people navigate the world having to constantly problem solve and innovate. People should utilise that quality, experience and ability. Stop presuming that we are vulnerable purely because we are disabled people.
