ABOUT OUR
Ableism
It's TIME to STOP!
Listen to the people we call disabled, and their families and whanau and support what they want, NOT what we think they need. Without consideration it is too easy to impose our own bias or stigma upon people with a disability difference. This is ableism. It has the same impact as racism and sexism; both of these are areas of social response that we are aware of and regard as prejudice. Such discrimination is illegal under the Human Rights Act 1993.
ABLE COMICS create person -centred narratives that help to define our lives. Stories give our lives meaning and purpose, and offer a valuing place in the world for everyone.
