When we asked the Women Of Revival, Samidha, Anusha, Shivangi and Kavya, why they need empowerment as disabled woman, this is what they had to say :
Samidha Mathur says : "Being Disabled means feeling alone in a world full of people regularly. Empowerment helps me overcome loneliness. It helps me feel comfortable in my body, my ability and my power - no matter how different it looks from everyone else! It helps me see myself as brighter, stronger, confident and worthy."
Anusha Misra says : "Empowerment helps me to take up space, and speak up for what I believe in. It helps me bloom into becoming more of myself everyday."
Shivangi Anil says : "Empowerment means being able to talk about issues that matter to me and make the world a better place. It also encompasses getting opportunities to become financially independent."
Kavya Mukhija says : "Empowerment is a gift for me by me. It is a reclamation of my space while making that space accessible. Empowerment is the realisation, acceptance and pride of being disabled, unapologetically!"
About Power In My Disability : A community driven initiative to empower disabled women by providing access to services. We believe that there is power in the disabled experience. It is a sibling project of Revival Disability Magazine.
