Monday, 18 December 2023 - 8:30am to 9:00am
a digital graphic by Sky Cubacub of @RebirthGarments that says “Queercrips for Palestine”, where the words are each in red, black and green. In the center is a QueerCrip symbol which is a mashup of the newer accessibility icon and the trans symbol ( Queercrip symbol designed in 2016 also by Sky). This Queercrip symbol has a Palestinian flag filling in the symbol diagonally

On this episode of Women on the Line we are diving into current issues in Disability Justice. As we head into holiday season and peak covid period, we listen to Iris Lee’s (3CR Broadcaster) interview with Farida about their experience with long-covid and the failure of the Australian healthcare system. We then hear Priya Kunjan’s 3CR Thursday Breakfast interview with Independent queer researcher Dr Shoshana Rosenberg about disability and trans solidarity with Palestine in the face of Israel's ongoing violent occupation. You can listen to the full interviews in the links above. 

This last interview covers some distressing content about genocide and state violence. If you need to speak to someone you can call  Lifeline on 13 11 14, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander listeners can call 13 YARN, and queer listeners can call QLife on 1800 184 527.

The featured song on this episode is Wattani by all-girl Palestinian hip hop collective Ettijah.
