  • Triple Whammy: Disabled Women’s Lived Experiences of Covid-19 Voices, Priorities and Actions for Change – full report (PDF + plain text)

    Publication

    Our engagement with members throughout Covid-19 demonstrated that, although we may all be in the same storm, we have most certainly not been in the same boat. For disabled people there have been fewer lifelines within reach - and particular inequalities for disabled women quickly emerged.

    One group of GDA women described the “triple whammy” of:
    being disabled
    being a woman
    and dealing with Covid.
