Ms Amy Hassett:

Grace and I were both very young in 2006 and we do not remember that survey, but it is absolutely essential that we have that kind of data. On what should be included, there should be a human-rights based focus on disability and how we frame those questions around disability. The key thing for us at Disabled Women Ireland is that we ensure we collect data on gender in a way that is not just male or female, but that we are inclusive of gender minorities. We have no data on gender minorities in any area and, in much of our work, we have to insert a footnote which states we know these issues are significantly more impactful on gender minorities who are not men and women but we just do not know the situation. It is really important that we capture other sorts of demographic data around ethnicity and various intersecting identities because it is essential for us to be able to identify. One of the topics of today's meeting is disability proofing. One of the things we find very difficult is that we have anecdotal evidence from our members that certain barriers are more significant if you are part of different categories, if you have multiple intersecting identities or certain impairment types, but we simply do not have data on that. It is really important that we capture that in as fine-grained a way as we can. It is also essential that we do this in a way that is as flexible and as accessible as possible. That means producing plain English and easy-to-read forms, ISL forms, screen-reader accessible forms or whatever way we do it. In our work, we try to do things in multiple formats to make sure we do not miss out on anybody in that way. Grace or Nem might add to that.
