The upcoming publication of the Disability Royal Commission report and the final review of the NDIS will inevitably highlight the discrimination and violence that women and girls with disabilities continue to face in their daily lives. In Australia, women with disabilities are more than twice as likely to have experienced physical or sexual violence than women without disabilities. With around 17% of Australian women and girls having disabilities, media professionals have a role in shaping public discourse and narratives, and a responsibility to ensure that these reports get the exposure they deserve.

Moderated by ABC Disability Affairs Reporter, Elizabeth Wright, the panel of lived experience experts will emphasise the importance of platforming case studies that incorporate lived experiences and the power of authentic storytelling to challenge stereotypes and promote understanding.

This webinar aligns with Our Watch’s resource, Changing the landscape. By attending, you will help redefine the media’s coverage on violence against women and girls with disabilities, promoting accountability and ensuring that media coverage avoids perpetuating the harmful narratives that can lead to violence.

This event will have Auslan interpreting and closed captions available.
