UK Disability History Month

<p>The sad truth is that nobody outside the disability communities cared. Corporations ignored it; hospitals and other public institutions barely acknowledged it. Where were they in imploring us to examine the centuries of often shameful history of disability and how disabled people have been bullied, tortured, victimised, or threatened with eugenical solutions to rid the world of us. It was a decidedly damp and disappointing squib of a month. The same happened with Disability Awareness Month in July.</p> <p>UK Disability History Month (UKDHM) is held annually between 16 November-16 December &mdash; this year the theme was Disabled Children and Youth.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@Philippalee_RareNeuro/uk-disability-history-month-989db79c9971"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
