The #AsianDisabilityNetwork is a support & educational platform around disability exploring how we navigate this with our ethnic & cultural identity.

#Disability has a greater sense of negative stigma amongst #asian communities. This needs to change. Join our movement 💥

Right now, society is missing out.

We're stronger when everyone feels included, free from discrimination and abuse.

But 3 in 4 disabled people say they have experienced negative attitudes. It's time this stopped 🧵

Not to make light of a serious #equity issue, but any other unmarried South Asian / AAPIs have success with using this fact to get their relatives off their back? 😬 @AsianDisability @aadinitiative @ChronicBrown #DisabilityPrideMonth #DisabilityTwitter #BrownGirlProblems

We’re featured in @MetroUK - our founder @ShaniDhanda writes a compelling article about the attitudes towards #Disability in the #SouthAsian community

#SmashStigma #DisabilityTwitter

[Opinion by Metro.co.uk @MetroOpinion]

'As a disabled South Asian woman, I can experience bias and discrimination in multiple ways due to my race, disability and gender, or as a combination of these.'

@ShaniDhanda writes for @MetroUK

I feel mixed emotions with the formal end to #shielding today. I want nothing more than to go out again after shielding for over a year. It feels very unnerving with the risk of catching Covid to start mixing again. I’m doing everything by my own timeline and when feels safe.

Our founder @shanidhanda shares how #census data helped her to create safe spaces for undersevered and underrepresented people, including the @asiandisability and @AsianWomanFest

This is one of the reasons why the @census2021 is so important and the impact it can have.

I ensured #accessibility was paramount for our virtual #AsianWomanFestival!

Not just because 1 in 6 South Asian's in the UK live with an impairment or a condition, but it means everyone can join in a way that is comfortable and preferencial them. #Inclusion
