Mainstream media still controls how persons with disabilities are perceived. But digital media is shifting the power. What does real representation look like?
Join us on InclusiTalk as we challenge stereotypes and amplify disability-led storytelling with .@sarah_oringa and .@MugabeBigman.

Healthcare must work for #women & #girls with #disabilities. That means accessible consent, sign language interpreters, and easy-to-read info so informed choices are possible.
#Inclusion isn’t optional—it’s a right.
