⚫️Thursdays In Black

Individuals with disabilities, particularly women and girls, face a markedly increased risk of violence, encompassing sexual and gender-based violence, abuse, and neglect. This heightened vulnerability arises from various factors, including reliance on caregivers, institutionalization, and insufficient accessible support systems.

The movement advocates for the cessation of not just physical violence but also systemic violence. This encompasses the absence of accessible environments, information, and justice systems that hinder individuals with disabilities from reporting abuse and obtaining assistance.

We call for a society that is inclusive, where everyone can feel safe and has equal access to essential resources.

If you know anyone in your community going through any form of abuse, please contact the National Domestic Violence Helpline on 1560 or you can contact Lifeline counselling on 1543.
