Strong Women Coming Together

Amanda, Janice, Maria, Janet, Maddy and Kat share their experiences of being strong Self Advocates (with a combined 150 years of disability activism between them!)

Discussing how far disability rights have come and what still needs to change, how to support each other and the next generation to continue to make change happen

Raising Our Voices Radio has been presenting disability rights on 3CR since 1987, that’s a lot of campaigns, friendships, wins and losses over the years

Today we celebrate all these, and more to come

Happy International Women’s Day to everyone!
