Sex attacker free after HSE refuses to provide treatment - Independent.ie
HSE ignores it's responsibilities - completely!
A disabled woman challenges the 'status quo' in Ireland. This blog was started to highlight inequality, abuse and injustice in the lives of disabled people. The wooden spoon was given to me when I graduated (PhD) as I'm known to 'stir up' and get things done. I'm still stirring from my wheelchair...Justice for disabled people demands we 'stir-up' complacency, injustice, inequality lack of services, and scapegoating . Disabled people deserve rights not charity! "Nothing about me without me!"

BBC News - Mentally ill people 'hit hard by recession'
The poor, the ill, disabled people and elderly ALL hit hard.
We need to ask WHY? If we do not then we are in danger of another holocaust where these groups of people are blamed for the woes of the Nations.
It's already happening . A third of those polled on elder issues said older people were 'a burden' on society.
This will be YOU in a few years time.

We need to expose all abuse of disabled people. It is monstrous that 'carers'...huh! don't you love the word...do this!!

DeafHope | Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize
Wonderful to see 'DEAFHOPE' win the group prize of the Emma Humphries award 2012. Years ago I won the individual prize (2004) and I hope my work on abuse of Deaf Children in 1989 -1996 and beyond stirred up a consciousness about abuse of Deaf Children.
Well Done 'DEAFHOPE'.
