Can We Talk About That?

Episode 23 - The Overlooked Intersection: Disability and Gender-Based Violence


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with consultant and advocate Marianne Park-Ruffin for an honest and eye-opening conversation about the intersection of disability and gender-based violence. Marianne offers both lived and professional insight into how people with disabilities experience GBV, the unique vulnerabilities they face, and the barriers that often prevent them from accessing support.Together, we explore what inclusive services should look like, how organizations can better respond, and why accessibility must be central in the fight to end GBV. This is a powerful and important conversation for anyone working in social services, advocacy, or community care.Resources & Support:Domestic Abuse Services Oxford (Emergency shelter & 24/7 crisis line)Website: www.daso.caCrisis Line Toll-Free Number: 1-800-265-1938Ingamo Homes (Second stage housing & support)Website: www.ingamohomes.comFollow us on Instagram: @canwetalkaboutthat
