This. Once more thanks to Puneet Singh Singhal for highlighting this and keeping the conversation alive and at the forefront. We shouldn’t have to jump through government imposed hoops to get access to sign language interpreters. The human rights act gives us the right to equal access to information and the Disability legislation states it’s unlawful to intentionally or unintentionally discriminate against those with disability… yet only yesterday I was told I had to do a lot of hoop jumping in order to gain funding for a one hour session with a life coach which would be beneficial to many in the long term. I was denied said access to my own language of NZSL citing rules (hoops) and lack of funding. I want to ask how much value does the current NZ government, Louise Upston, place on each Deaf community members heads? By default we only get granted $5k per year for job supported interpreting services (been this way for many many years) It costs on average $100 -150 an hour for an interpreter with a minimum of an hour booking. You have to jump through many hoops to prove that the need is higher. I have done this previously and it took a long time right down to the smallest detail required. This is wrong for a group of society to still be treated as un human and fighting for our basic human right to access information in the form we understand. I’ve been denied access to interpter by doctors in hospitals, and healthcare as a result and even a physical injury, had to spend hours and hours on relay calls to get ACC assist and to ask for a face to face meeting with interpreter assist, ignored and treated very poorly by GP practices, told to go use advocacy services to “complain” and yet they themselves refuse to work with Deaf people citing they don’t do calls to NZ relay and then wouldn’t engage either by face to face at a community law office where it could be interpreter assisted. Had a relay call with the Disabilty and Health commission once and they never got back to me. I chased it up and got the same response that they don’t do relay calls. Even those within the legal system and legal government department don’t have the skills to assist us and refuse to. NZ government departments who should know how to work with all communities don’t get trained or taught how to first show respect to Deaf members and secondly know how to provide access to sign language. Putting it bluntly: this makes them in breech of NZ legislation. These are real life lived experiences happening this year alone. The even sadder part is I’m having conversations within our global community networks that it’s not only our government that needs to take note of what really is happening on the front line.
Disabled people don't just "deserve" access to the world- we have a right to it. Denying us the freedom to use a bathroom, enjoy a meal, or be a part of society is a denial of our human rights. Until our rights are honoured, justice and equality remain empty promises. #WeAreBillionStrong #DisabilityInclusion #Accessibility #Ableism #Equity #a11y #Equality #AXSChat

It’s interesting to see how diversity and equality are playing out in politics. It’s definitely a topic that needs to be addressed but how do you feel about political parties campaigning about it? #diversity #inclusion #generalelection #ukpolitics #equality #equalityforall
