Image Description:
Two social cream social media tiles. Tile 1 has the WDV logo along the top and the text: “2-Part Professional Development for Individuals” with “Register Now” along the bottom. In the middle are graphics of 3 women and gender diverse people with disabilities. Tile 2 is an infographic highlighting the higher rates of violence experienced by women with disabilities. Large text states that 65% of women with disabilities report at least one experience of violence since the age of 15, followed by the message, “Together, we can prevent it.” An illustration shows a woman who is blind / low vision using a white cane. Below, a bar graph compares women with disabilities with women without disabilities across four types of violence: partner violence, sexual violence, stalking or harassment, and physical violence. Across all four categories, the bars for women with disabilities are substantially higher.
