In this discussion we will analyze how systemic oppressions (ableism, racism, colonialism, sexism, heteropatriarchy and other system of oppression) shape the lives of Indigenous, racialized, rural, and gender diverse girls, women, trans and gender non-conforming folks with disabilities. This conversation is meant to centre the margins: those living at the intersection of multiple oppressions.
DAWN Canada will be joined by a group of esteemed international panelists who will speak from their lived-experiences of systemic oppressions as well as share their visions for solutions to address societal oppressions and barriers from an intersectional perspective.

Nidhi Goyal, disability justice activist and co-founder of Rising Flame, India
Mildred Omino, Gender and Disability Rights activist who advocates for the sexual and reproductive health rights of girls and women with disabilities, Kenya
