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 💥

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
This disability pride month, I want to remind everyone again that disabled people who depend on disability benefits can't marry or they could lose their benefits. The benefits that often keep them alive.
There isn't marriage equality for disabled people.

We’re featured in @MetroUK - our founder @ShaniDhanda writes a compelling article about the attitudes towards #Disability in the #SouthAsian community
#SmashStigma #DisabilityTwitter
'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.
The majority of clinically extremely vulnerable people plan to shield until their second vaccine. This is how they feel about the guidelines changing. huffp.st/pymXHKn
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.
Don’t forget to fill your @Census2021 form in today. Why not do it now. Just visit ow.ly/ABMa50E0wSc and follow the instructions.

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
Loving the accessibility and user friendly resources @AsianWomanFest virtual festival today. Tune via the website live until 5pm today, with @DrRadhaModgil @SunnyandShay @ShaniDhanda @A_W_M_B @nktgill and some hidden gems.
