“Viennese women with disabilities” – Retrospective of the 6th event!

Together with Heidemarie Egger, L&R Social Research is realising the barrier-free event series “Viennese women with disabilities” on behalf of the Vienna Women’s Department (MA 57).

The 6th Haltestelle on 13 May focused on the topic of ‘mothers with disabilities’. Together with expert Eva-Maria Fink, mother and expert on the reproductive rights of women with disabilities, the social images that women with disabilities are confronted with in relation to the desire to have children and the barriers that mothers with disabilities encounter were discussed. The participating women with disabilities were able to ask questions and raise issues, which were then discussed in the group. The participants engaged in intensive discussions, exchanged ideas, networked and shared their experiences.

In autumn, the event will continue with a workshop on the topic of ‘Becoming a mother – being a mother’ and an event for young women with disabilities. More information will follow.
