? Women with disabilities are women! | ?Las mujeres con discapacidad también somos mujeres! Today, on International Women’s Day, we recognize that women and gender-diverse people with disabilities are not just part of the feminist movement—we are leading it! From fighting for reproductive justice to demanding inclusive policies, disabled feminists are breaking barriers, reshaping systems, and driving change. Yet, the work is far from over. Ableism, gender-based violence, inaccessible spaces, and exclusion from decision-making continue to silence too many voices. ?? This #IWD2025, we call on all feminist movements, organizations, and allies to accelerate action. True gender justice must include disability justice. The future of feminism is intersectional, and together, we can build a world where no one is left behind. _________________________________ Hoy, en el marco del Día Internacional de la Mujer, reconocemos que las mujeres con discapacidad no sólo somos parte del movimiento feminista, lo estamos liderando. Desde la lucha por la justicia reproductiva hasta demandando políticas inclusivas, las feministas con discapacidad hemos desmantelado barreras, desafiado sistemas y hemos cambiado el mundo. Sin embargo, el trabajo continua. El capacitismo, la violencia de género, los espacios inaccesibles y la exclusión en espacios de toma de decisiones continúan silenciando muchas de nuestras voces. ?? Este #8M, hacemos un llamado a los movimientos y organizaciones feministas para acelerar el cambio. La verdadera justicia de género debe incluir la justicia de la discapacidad. El futuro del feminismo es interseccional, y juntes podemos construir un mundo donde nadie se quede atrás. #AccelerateAction #IWD2025 #DisabilityRights #InclusiveFeminism #8M
