It is at once a story of an activist, a disabled woman in an ableist world, an immigrant, and a feminist.
Disability rights activists called for a variety of remedies during a panel of a major London conference last week. “If you have reduced mobility, it makes it that much harder to run when everyone else is fleeing from the village, you may have less chance to run away,” said one speaker.
