People with Disability Australia
People with Disability Australia (PWD) is a peak cross-disability human rights and advocacy organisation, of and for people with disability, that has been providing information, advocacy, training, complaints handling and a representative voice of people with disability for over 30 years. We have a vision of a socially just, accessible, and inclusive community, in which the human rights, citizenship, contribution, potential and diversity of all people with disability are recognised, respected and celebrated. From PWD’s experience, the incidence of domestic violence which occurs against women with disability, particularly those living in non-family settings, is a largely hidden issue. PWD is committed to providing women with disability and their associates with the ability to identify and prevent domestic violence, and to raising awareness of the disproportionally high instances of violence against women with disability, especially in residential settings.
