Our Resistance: Stories of Disability Rights Activists

Book

The stories of girls with disabilities are often ignored or told from the perspective of others, portraying them through a tokenizing and paternalistic lens of “inspiration” or pity. By erasing the full humanity, richness, diversity, and multidimensionality of people with disabilities, society stigmatises, generalises, and stereotypes the community at large, which consciously and unconsciously furthers violence and injustices across every aspect of their lives. Our Resistance is an effort to counter these narratives and lift up the stories and efforts of Disability Rights activists working to remake the world.
