Tonight's #Budget2022 needs to make more accessible housing available for people with #disability - 375 days is too long to wait for priority public housing:

MEDIA RELEASE: Budget – Good initiatives but disability focus lacking

It’s important to understand that for some women with #disability, they simply CAN’T leave. Particularly if the perpetrator is also their carer/support person. @QandA @WWDA_AU

Kat Reed - WWDA Board Member influencing panelist Anne Aly tonight to look at changing the 'narrow definition' of domestic and family violence to include #reproductive forms of violence. #QandA #WWDA

Given that we are now in a time when violence against women is topical, how can we ensure that women with disability are included and that the forms of violence we experience are addressed? #NothingWithoutUs #QandA #WWDA

While #Australia has a number of laws, policies, frameworks, and service systems to prevent and address violence, many of these use narrow definitions of domestic and family violence which omit many of the #perpetrators of violence against #women with #disability. #QandA

Great question from @WWDACT CEO Kat Reed on the prevalence of violence against disabled women on tonight’s #QandA - we must count it!

@WomenEnabled #Covid had a disproportionate impact on women + women with disabilities. Those from minorities with disabilities, included high levels of violence, and our basic needs were ignored. #COSP15

Good to see strong youth representation in the Australian civil society delegation to this week's #COSP15. #EveryoneIncluded

🇦🇺 is pleased to offer strong support for the re-election of @RosemaryKayess - a powerful human rights advocate & esteemed academic - to the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#CRPD). We seek the valuable support of states parties at 🗳️elections on 🗓️14 June.

We are excited to wish our CEO @kat_reedact the best as they join the Australian Civil Society Delegation at the 15th session of the United Nations Conference of State Parties to the CRPD at the UN Headquarters in New York this week! #COSP15 #CRPD #DisabilityRights

Wishing a CEO the best attending #COSP15 this week!

Good to see the #NDIS featuring in the election campaign. But, it must be understood that the NDIS covers less than 10% of people with #Disability in Aust. Parties must ALSO commit to full implementation of the Aust Disability Strategy 2021-2031 #ausvotes #auspol #CRPD

From me, @gemcarey, @Ellie_Malbon and @Jen_Hargrave in @ConversationEDU: how the #AdministrativeBurden of the #NDIS has gendered implications - thanks to partners @WWDACT and @WDVtweet 1/
