Women With Disabilities Australia

WWDA Youth Network has created the Human Rights Workbook, Position Statements and some videos to help young women and girls with disability learn about their human rights. If you are a woman or girl with disability and would like to learn more about your human rights and how they can be used to achieve change in your life or the lives of other women and girls with disability, these resources are for you.

Thanks to all the young women and girls with disability who contributed to the development of these resources!
