Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people with disability in Australia are being asked to share their stories to help authorities improve responses to discrimination and abuse in the future.
The Royal Commission into Violence, Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation of People with Disability released an issues paper in ten different languages on Tuesday, asking people with disability from CALD backgrounds and their supporters to help shape the inquiry’s work going forward.
The paper notes there is a lack of data on disability in CALD communities, and that available information suggests migrants with disability are likely to be especially vulnerable to violence and abuse.
