Equality

New project announcement!

Disabled Women’s Experiences of Care and Support is a project run by Disabled Women Ireland in partnership with the Disability Participation News Hub and funded by the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission. Between December 2026 and March 2027 we are holding three workshops where disabled women share their experiences of both giving and receiving care and support.

Between November 2026 and February 2027 we are going to host three hybrid workshops with disabled women and genderqueer people to talk about care and support.

About DWI:

Disabled Women Ireland (DWI) is the only dedicated organisation advocating for the rights of  self-identified women, girls and non-binary/genderqueer/gender non-confirming people with disabilities in Ireland. We are a disabled person’s organisation (DPO), meaning that we are run and led by disabled people.

We are a cross disability organisation and our members have a diverse range of impairments and intersecting identities. We believe the the only way to achieve real change is to advocate from an inter-sectional feminist approach. 

We want to break down the barriers which marginalize and isolate people with disabilities. We do this by working in a way that is inclusive and accessible to all.

As a disabled person’s organisation (DPO), we want to:

• Actively promote the participation of self-identified women and non-binary/genderqueer/ gender non-confirming people with disabilities in all aspects of social, economic, political and cultural life

• Advocate on issues concerning self-identified women and non-binary/genderqueer/ gender non-confirming people with disabilities in Ireland

• Create and grow a network of disabled self-identified women and non-binary/genderqueer/ gender non-confirming people with disabilities
