Cliff jumping: empowering actions for disabled women

Abstract

Explains the problems disabled women have with the obstacles they must overcome to “cliff jump”. Focuses on the research literature, pointing out that much of this has been oppressive. Argues that the research reinforces on those with disabilities that the differences they face are the results of their individual limitations or inadequacies rather than the limitations of society. Covers areas such as attitude, education, health care, abuse, information and empowerment.
