    Round Table Discussion: Equity and Accessibility

    As part of our International Women's Day events this March, we held a series of round table discussions with our staff and guests. We discussed various issues relating to intersectional womanhood and equity, and we were able to record our discussion on accessibility. In this discussion, we were joined by Katrin McEntee, from the British Institute of Human Rights. This episode delves into the ways in which services could be made more accessible to marginalised women, including when it comes to disability and language barriers.
