International Women's Day - Celebrating Disabled Mothers and Mothers of Disabled Children

Mary_Scope

It is International Womens Day this Saturday and so in the leadup to that, this weeks focus is going to be on celebrating disabled mothers and mothers of disabled children.

Motherhood is a journey that is packed full of unique challenges and joys. But, when combined with disability (either your own or your child's) those experiences are intensified.

It is a journey that is often filled with overcoming barriers, relentless advocacy, managing multiple roles and needs and more.

But, it can also often be filled with unconditional love and extraordinary amounts of strength and resilience.

Throughout the week we will be hearing from different women who have different experiences and discuss transforming attitudes, challenging stigma and stereotypes and sharing words of wisdom.

If you're a disabled mother or a mother of a disabled child, what has been your journey? How can we better support disabled mothers/parents of disabled on the community?
