As part of BBC Radio Wales’ coverage of the petition to UK Parliament calling for statutory menstrual leave for people with endometriosis and adenomyosis, FTWW Engagement Coordinator, Dee, spoke to BBC Radio Wales about the importance of ensuring that disabled and chronically ill women and people registered female at birth – and their employers – are aware of existing legislation that can protect their employment rights and help them thrive in the workplace.
July is Disability Pride Month, and here at FTWW we truly believe that disability something to be ‘proud’ of – if you haven’t read our previous blog on this, we’d recommend doing so before you read this one!
As a member disabled people’s organisation (DPO) of Disability Wales, FTWW supports their statement published today in response to the Welfare Bill concessions (see below).
The consultation on Welsh Government’s upcoming Draft Disabled People’s Rights plan is now open. The plan, based on the work of the Disability Rights Taskforce (of which FTWW is a member organisation), sets out a 10-year ambition and the long-term outcomes the Welsh Government is working towards to ensure disabled people can flourish as equal members of Welsh society, and to challenge discrimination and prejudice.
