Understanding Violence Against People with Disabilities and Deaf People

People with disabilities are at significantly higher risk of domestic and sexual violence than those without disabilities. Survivors often face more frequent, prolonged abuse and multiple perpetrators. In this webinar, Activating Change staff will explore the unique experiences of people with disabilities and Deaf individuals—from the violence they face to the barriers in accessing criminal justice systems and victim services—and share strategies to improve responses and outcomes for these survivors.

This session lays the foundation for our 2025 webinar series, where we’ll dive deeper into the intersection of violence and disability.

Registration closes April 15th, 2025.
