Keynote Speaker 基調講演 Natsuko IZENA 伊是名夏子 Presentation: Invisible challenges faced by women with disabilities 障害女性の抱える困難さ |
|
Summary
Women with disabilities face difficulties with visibility and encounter many hardships. In matters of marriage, pregnancy, and childbirth, they often face strong opposition not only from their families but also from healthcare providers and specialists, and in some cases are separated from their children. What should be taken for granted is no longer treated as such, and fairness is among the most difficult principles to realize in society. I would like to further promote an intersectional perspective.
障害のある女性は、見えづらい、多くの困難さがある。結婚、妊娠、出産では家族をはじめ、医療者や専門家からも多くの反対を受け、子どもと引き離されることもある。当たり前のことが当たり前でなくなり、社会の中で公平がもっとも成し遂げられにくい。インターセクショナリティの視点をより広めたい。
