Melissa Parker is a journalist. She has cerebral palsy. She wrote about being a woman and a wheelchair user. Her article reveals shocking truths.


She supports a campaign to raise awareness. Strangers often grab wheelchair handles. This causes distress to wheelchair users. Disabled people say, "hands off." Sadly, this happens too often.


#HandsOffOurHandles

On a black background, the message is displayed prominently in large, mixed white and yellow font:  “Wheelchair users are tired of being touched, moved, groped, assaulted, and kidnapped—hands off.”
