#InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople
Last week was #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople!

Did you know that an estimated 16.8 million people in the UK had a disability in 2023/24, accounting for 25% of the total population?

It’s #InternationalDayofDisabledPeople today and I attended an important event in the Senedd focused on disabled people, their needs and the organisations that support them.

#InternationalDayofDisabledPeople is a vital reminder of the work still to do. On the Women and Equalities Select Committee, I’m focused on advancing accessibility, inclusion and equality for all members of the community.

Today is the #InternationalDayofDisabledPeople!

It was great to meet with Scope in Parliament and celebrate the contributions and achievements of the 17,536 disabled people in Southgate and Wood Green.

It was a pleasure to renew my commitment to championing the voices of disabled people 💜

Happy #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople.

Here are a few quotes from some of my faves:

“Illness is the night side of life, a more onerous citizenship. Everyone who is born holds dual citizenship, in the kingdom of the well and in the kingdom of the sick”
- Susan Sontag

While @brighton-hove.gov.uk adopted an #AccessibleCity strategy last year, there's been little progress on simple things like removing bollards on narrow footways. & then a diversion sign has made it even more difficult for wheelchair users & other #Disabled people. #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople

Oops cocked up the hashtag #internationaldayofdisabledpeople
wtf @channel4tv.bsky.social? #positivelypurple celebrating the financial contribution of disabled people, 24h after dispatches slated #disability #benefits recipients. The hypocrisy is strong. It’s disgusting. Push us down then pretend to support & build us up. #internarionaldayofdisabledpeople

Hello #EduSky #AcademicSky #HigherEducation. I currently teach in a London university and am posting today on #Disability #InclusiveEducation #SocialJustice #education for #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople. New to Bsky so not much traction yet - likes and forwards welcome :) bsky.app/profile/fine...
Every year, conveniently around #DisabilityHistoryMonth, I teach some sessions on #Disability, #SEN, #accessibility and #inclusion to postgrads. As prep I set a task of engaging with the creative and/or professional work of D/disabled people, and posting links on their course forum. #DHM2024 1/?

On this #InternationalDayOfDisabledPeople, I hope one day the world will not have any barriers for anyone with a disability and I hope the world one day will be inclusive for everyone with a disability.
