Today, we stand in solidarity with the start of UK Disability History Month 2023, running from 16th November to 16th December. This year's theme, "Disability, Children, and Youth," urges us to reflect on the historical, present, and future experiences of disablement among our younger generations. From a history marked by neglect, harsh punishment, segregation, bullying, and ignorance, we are compelled to confront our prejudices and discriminatory practices. The treatment of disabled children and young people serve as a litmus test for our inclusivity and commitment to human rights as a community and society. Impairment is an intrinsic aspect of human existence, yet societal responses have varied across cultures and time. The key to positive change lies in how we perceive impairment and disablement. Let us collectively challenge societal norms, promote inclusivity, and foster an environment that nurtures the potential of every individual, regardless of ability. 🌟 Join SceneChange in supporting UK Disability History Month, and let's contribute to building a more compassionate and understanding society for all. #UKDHM2023 #InclusionMatters #SceneChangeSupports #Diversity #Inclusion #Equity #Disability #SceneChange
