A six-week peer support workshop for disabled women and non-binary people of foreign background living in Iceland.

Participation is free of charge.
 

The workshop includes:

• Discussions on, and sharing of our diverse experiences, feelings and knowledge as disabled women and nonbinary people.

• Discussions on how we cope emotionally when our rights are violated.

• A safe space to express our thoughts and feelings freely, without experiencing fear of prejudice or judgement.

• The exploration of courage to voice our opinions, thoughts and feelings, and to stand for our rights and the possibility for a change affecting our lives and society.
   

Tabú emphasis a cross-disability approach which means that no person is too disabled or not enough disabled to claim a place in the workshop. It also means that we know and understand that disability is not always visible and that is okay, everyone is welcome.
