F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

Following the decision to impose further limitations on abortion rights to the already highly restrictive abortion law in Poland - banning practially access to legal abortions - women and their allies took to the streets. Since the Constitutional Tribunal decision, protesters are expressing their anger daily by blocking cities, sharing ‘Abortion without borders’ helpline number and demanding respect for decisions made by pregnant persons. As the decision rules Poland’s law to permit abortion on the grounds of “a severe and irreversible fetal defect or incurable illness that threatens the fetus’ life” unconstitutional, fault lines between disabled people’s rights and women’s rights are surfacing in public discussions. During this webinar, we want to amplify women with disabilities perspectives on the issue and explore feminist disability rights standpoints. We will attempt to situate the experiences of women with disabilities within wider international debates on the intersections between gender, disability and reproductive rights. This webinar will also share the experiences and perspectives of women with disabilities in order to dismantle ableism while advancing reproductive rights and human rights.
