Girls Without Barriers: An Intersectional Feminist Analysis of Girls and Young Women with Disabilities in Canada
Girls Without Barriers is a project led by the DisAbled Women’s Network of Canada, with the objective of reporting what is known on the rights, needs, and experiences of diverse girls and young women with disabilities, and address the gaps in order to promote their full participation in girl-serving programs in Canada. Using an intersectional analysis, the report dresses a comprehensive, yet not exhaustive, picture of the systemic dynamics that erase girls and young women with disabilities from human rights framework, statistical analyses, violence-prevention programs, schooling policies and practices, etc. @DAWNCanada analyses the systemic oppressions that shape the lives of Indigenous, racialized, rural, and gender/sexual diverse girls and young women with disabilities, and those living at the intersection of multiple oppressions. This is ground-breaking work in Canada, leading a path for promoting the full participation of all girls and young women with disabilities.
