Ways That You Can Support DWI

Disabled Women Ireland relies heavily on the goodwill and volunteerism of its members. To ensure our organisation continues to grow, we need help from our members.

 Disabled Women Ireland is a disabled persons organisation (DPO) which means that we are an organisation for disabled people, run by disabled people. As a DPO we believe that true equality for disabled people and people from marginalized genders can only be achieved by engaging with people who have lived experience of these issues.

Currently, the membership of DWI is composed of self-identified women and non-binary people, but membership is open to disabled people of all marginalized genders. Central to our ethos, we will only advocate on issues of which we have lived experience, and as the diversity of our organisation increases, so too will the diversity of issues that we advocate in relation to.

For this reason, we are always seeking self-identified women and non-binary/genderqueer/ gender non-confirming people who would like to work with us at all levels.
