Disability Advocacy

People with disabilities make up 15% of the worlds population, and wheelchair users make up 1%. Yet we continue to be marginalized and under-represented. There are a lot of damaging public perceptions of people with disabilities. As well as harmful legislation and policies in place. Education is the first step towards change and progress.
