Description
This webinar will address what is needed for large-scale prevention of violence against communities with disabilities. In phase 1, will discuss the importance of dismantling internalized ableism – What does this look like? How do you do this? How does this contribute to prevention? In phase 2, we will address how your organizations might understand agency and consent, and what model policies and implementation strategies may look like. In phase 3, we will examine the connections between food security, healthcare, fatphobia, employment and income. Finally, we will look forward to explore the large-scale changes we can strive for in order to prevent violence against people with disabilities.
