LGBTQIA+ Disability Research and Analysis

Disability

This episode we are joined by Margherita Coppolino, a well-known community advocate for LGBTIQ+ people with disabilities, and Associate Professor Adam Bourne from the Australian Research Centre for Sex, Health and Society to discuss the new report released last week, titled “Violence, abuse, neglect and exploitation of LGBTQ+ people with disability: a secondary analysis of data from two national surveys.”

This is an important analysis of findings regarding respondents who reported having a disability or a long-term health condition from two national LGBTIQ surveys.

Resources

Adam and Margherita will be taking us through the report and some key reflections on the findings.
