Disabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.

We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.

Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.

For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible.

As Annie and Aretha sang, Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves. While men get most of the attention and almost all the investment funds, women are doing the work, founding, running and growing food production companies.

We’ve a few local female-founded companies who are stocking shop shelves across the province and country, and supplying restaurants. So, For International Women's Day, I chatted with a couple of them about their journeys:

Morgan from Green Goddess Fromagerie
Becky from Beck's Broth

Gender backlash & misogyny are on the rise as well as hatred of diversity, equality and inclusion.
Genocidal wars and the dehumanisation of women in Gaza, Tigray etc have been normalised
So much progress seems to be undone but we need to continue with the struggle for equality, choice, agency , freedom and peace.

Happy International Women's Day. #iwd2025

We can also go behind the scenes to find the women holding up the sky. Carol Kaye - bass player extraordinaire and part of the legendary Wrecking Crew. A recording history that goes on and on, but possibly one of her better known ones was iwth the Beach boys - good vibrations.

This International Women’s Day I’m saying Merci Gisele. Her unwavering commitment to ensuring rape & abuse victims know that the shame is NOT theirs has inspired countless women to come forward & share their own stories.

Abuse, neglect & medical misogyny are serious issues we must address #IWD2025
