Accelerating Action: Disabled Women in Work & Business

Accelerating Action: Disabled Women in Work & Business.

This year, International Women’s Day (IWD) 2025 calls for us to ‘Accelerate Action’ toward gender equality. Despite a roughly equal gender split in disability statistics, many disabled women find their challenges invisible in broader gender discussions.

On days like today, I like to add the additional barriers disabled women face, be it in employment, leadership, or entrepreneurship, as this is often an intersection that is left out of the narrative of days like today.
