80% of disabled women are sexually assaulted. Stop leaving disability out of the conversation.
And do you have some stats and sources to back up this claim?
Here are some more sources that cite 80% as the average percentage of disabled women who are sexually assaulted.
@heyatleastitsnotcancer Why does the conversation have to specifically target women who happen to be disabled? Aren’t they included the use of the word “women”? Why does the disabled distinction have to be made? Just so you can be angry about something? I’m a woman who has lived around people with disablitlites my entire life. Most of those people don’t like being referred to as disabled if they don’t have to be. So, how about we just focus on the true problem here and not make a mountain out of an ant hill, ok?
Because no one wants to talk about us asshole. You aren’t disabled so stay in your lane.“I know disabled people and..”
No.
Just stop.
You are talking over actual disabled people.
I’m am disabled and I’ve been molested. I’ve been sexually harassed and assaulted by people explicitly because I was disabled. I worked in programs for disabilities and watched men purposely chase developmentally delayed women just do they could take advantage of them. I’ve been told to my face I we only had worth as a “quick lay/pity lay.”
People get away with murdering people like me because we are so called “burdens.”
Shut up.
It’s not an ant hill. It’s a mountain you don’t want to see. It’s people who are tortured for a cure. It’s people who are molested or raped in a hospital, by caregivers, by strangers who see an easy mark.
It’s my cousin who was kidnapped, raped and dumped at a library only to have cops tell her that since she’s disabled they couldn’t believe anyone would want to have sex with her.
It’s about power.
It’s about control.
It’s about having easy access to a victim.
It’s about preying on someone who can’t fight back.
It’s about preying on someone who won’t be believed.
It’s about disability.
It’s not only about us being “women.”
No one wants us around in activist spaces and you just proved that by trying to shut us up.
You don’t want to hear our pain.Don’t use the “I know people” card. It shows just how much of an ass you are.
I’m disabled.
My cousins are disabled.
My brother is disabled.
What’s wrong with that?
What’s wrong with describing us as we are?
Does the word disabled insult you?
It doesn’t insult us. It’s a descriptive just like how I can say I’m white, I’m American, I’m disabled. I will always be these things.And I’m part of the 80%
“why do we have to talk about disabled women” omg shut the fuck up
