LISTEN UP! Project 2022 – 2023

We are currently making some animation videos with women who have intellectual disabilities and have experienced violence.

The videos aim to challenge the myths and assumptions people make about women with intellectual disabilities and how this affects the rates of violence experienced by this group.

We will also be developing online training to be presented in 2022 alongside our project peer workers.

Watch this space!
