Help Victims Carry Their Cross and Pray for Church: Join Us Good Friday At Steps of Cathedral
it looks well meaning but what the hell does it mean "to help victims carry their cross"? It's not like this cross leads to salvation/resurrection as Jesus cross did!
Lets not get too biblical here. Child sexual abuse is NOT a salvation story.
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 - Disabled sailor Geoff Holt MBE barred from train
BBC News - Disabled sailor Geoff Holt MBE barred from train
A reader replied that this behaviour by the guard was 'poor training' not prejudice! I ask you. If it had been a racist slur would we be calling it 'poor training'?
this is what it means to be disabled. Ordinary people who just want to get from A to B are denied by prejudice. inhumanity and denial of human rights. what made that guard believe the train FLOOR was more important than Geoff Holt? until prejudice against disabled people is seen for what it is we will never overcome the hurdles Myself and other disabled people endure on a daily basis.
This behaviour is scandalous.

bullying is nasty...life-threatening and utterly wrong
says it all. can this world ever develop a thing called 'empathy' .
inclusive education - sick joke!
Anything wrong with this picture? Well yes, there is! The huge insensitivity, cruelty and mindlessness of the teacher. This is called 'inclusive education'! no it's abuse, neglect and seriously damaging to the mind of a disabled child.
Neurological care in Ireland – wasting away - The Medical Independent
Neurological care in Ireland – wasting away - The Medical Independent
this article is dated 2010 , not sure if there has been any developments but i doubt it. can the general population not THINK about anything other than cancer!
i feel able to argue this as both a cancer patient and one suffering a neurological disorder. for my cancer care here in ireland has been par to what i'd get anywhere in the uk, for example. not so my neurology care! nor for my twin, also with neurological dificulties. this service, headed by a wonderful professor is totally shackled by government ineptitude, uninterest, and downright rejection, neglect and inattention to human rights.
it's time we neurology patients 'rolled up' (in our wheelchairs) to demand a better service.
