Disabled Women on the Web Part of the Disability Social History Project, this is a developing site that is well-organized but fairly empty when we last checked in February 2001. You may wish to check it periodically. Its website is devoted primarily to information about the organization and its e-mail discussion group. Canadian visitors should also check out its list of provincial groups, such as DAWN Ontario . A bibliography is included.
Topics range from breast health and pregnancy issues to rights and research.
Topics covered include well woman exam, autonomic hyperreflexia, breast self exam, contraception, sexually transmitted diseases, and finding a health care provider. Includes some unusual and interesting sites. Topics covered include abuse, access to health care, breast health access, financial assistance, laws and regulations, minorities, older women, parenting, reproductive health, services and support, sexuality, statistical information, substance abuse, and particular disabilities. Each section includes an overview and links to pertinent publications and organizations. This web site of an Australian organization run for and by women with disabilities is packed with information and resources of interest to an international audience.
