Equality

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
