Do not rely on the few disabled people you might know or work with to take on the responsibilities of creating the change that is needed. - Salamatu Kamara

These changes can be simple, but are often not considered because either no disabled people or organisations were consulted, or, as some may point out: there simply is no willingness to make changes.

it is also important that employers state in their job advertisements that the position on offer is especially welcome to those with disabilities – unambiguously stated – in order to attract people.

Even within the conversation about lack of representation, disability discrimination does not get the attention that it requires, leaving disabled people out of the decision-making processes that directly impact their lives.
