There are huge barriers to women accessing these spaces and the disability commissioner is here all the time about disabled women in particular and the barriers they face. They often are the experts in the room but are the only ones not being paid when talking to local authorities or Departments. Ms Nelson talked about Chile and I wonder whether there are lessons we can learn from what was done there. It sounds like it was really interesting and that we could learn from it but are there things it can teach us not to do or could there be things that we could do better?
