Embolden

#IAmEmbolden is a mission to change the way D/deaf and disabled women and girls are viewed in society. Disability Wales, with funding from Spirit of 2012 and the Fawcett Society, has been highlighting the achievements of Welsh D/deaf and disabled women and girls, now and in history, challenging myths and stereotypes about disability and showcasing our amazing women role models.

 

In August 2017, we launched a call for nominations of D/deaf and disabled women and girls across Wales who are creating change and breaking down barriers. We received 42 nominations highlighting the achievements of women and girls in; the arts, careers, education, sports and within their local communities.

 

From the long list of nominations, a panel of judges selected eight nominees who they felt had shown outstanding achievements.
