UN Women National Committee Australia and the Silent Tears Project, acknowledge that violence against women and girls is a global concern. Often the topics of disability, violence and women are siloed and marginalised. Instead, intersections of identity need to be recognised and responded to. This event provides a focal point for discussion, education and awareness raising – providing the impetus and opportunity to enable further social change for disabled rural women and girls impacted by violence. This event involves experts from Australian and international disability communities who have engaged with the Silent Tears Project, revealing the violence perpetrated against disabled women and girls globally. The panellists have experience of disability and violence either professionally or personally. This creates a ‘borderless’ conversation to identify and discuss courses of action to facilitate change for disabled rural women and girls impacted by violence. The event acknowledges the advancement of the women’s agenda and UN SDG 2030, goal 5:  ‘leaving no one behind’.
