In partnership with Shanta Memorial Rehabilitation Centre (SMRC), Bhubaneswar, Prajnya marked Disability Day with the release of two resources.
This short booklet offers an overview to the types and contexts of violence faced by women with disabilities in India. It also lists the normative and legal instruments in which their rights are enumerated and guaranteed.
Access and download the booklet here as a .pdf file.
On November 18, we invited key disability rights scholar-activists to hold a panel discussion on how the pandemic had affected women with disabilities and the various kinds of violence they experienced, physical and structural.
The panelists were:
- Reena Mohanty, Shanta Memorial Rehabilitation Centre
- Dr. Renu Adlakha, Centre for Women's Development Studies
- Nidhi Goyal, The Rising Flame
The session was facilitated by Dr. Nandini Ghosh, Institute of Development Studies, Kolkata
On December 3, 2020, Disability Day, we premiered the video on YouTube, as a learning resource. We also screened it through a Facebook Live the same afternoon.
