Women with Disabilities ACT

Women with Disabilities ACT WWDACT is a systemic advocacy organisation for women, non-binary and gender diverse people in the ACT.

We work in the areas of policy, systemic advocacy and community engagement. WWDACT follows a human rights philosophy, based on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Convention on the Elimination of (All Forms Of) Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). We work with government and non-government organisations to improve the status and lives of women with disabilities in the ACT and surrounding region.
