This Australian resource manual consists of four booklets. Booklet 1 "A Life Like Mine! - Narratives from women with disabilities who experience violence" (52 p.) contains individual stories and poetry by women with disabilities who have experienced violence. Booklet 2 "Forgotten Sisters - A global review of violence against women with disabilities" (112 p.) reviews what is known about the incidence and prevalence of violence against women and girls with disabilities. It examines the nature and many forms of violence against women with disabilities, along with the consequences of such violence. Violence as a cause of disability is discussed with particular attention given to disability caused by violence in institutions, and harmful traditional practices. The booklet examines responses to violence against women with disabilities, including policy, legislative, research and service system responses. Key strategies to prevent violence against women with disabilities are also considered. Included in the booklet is an annotated bibliography of known published and unpublished resources on violence against women with disabilities. Booklet 3 "It's Not Ok It's Violence - Information about domestic violence and women with disabilities" (76 p.) provides information for women with disabilities about domestic violence. It explains, in simple terms, what it is, how it affects us, our rights, and where and how to get help. It provides information for relevant service providers on some of the barriers women with disabilities face in escaping domestic violence and looks at some easy ways that services can be more inclusive and responsive. Accompanying the text of the booklet are simple drawings that display powerful messages about domestic violence. Included at the end of the booklet is a comprehensive Services Directory, providing contact details of crisis, domestic violence, and sexual assault services, at national, state, regional and local levels. Booklet 4 "More Than Just A Ramp - A guide for women's refuges to develop disability discrimination act action plans" (92 p.) is a step by step guide for women's refuges (and other similar services) to develop disability discrimination act action plans. An Action Plan identifies barriers which may result in discrimination against women with disabilities who need to use a service. The Action Plan recommends strategies to eliminate these barriers and devise ways for monitoring and evaluating the plan's implementation. The booklet provides detailed information on how to re-orient services to better meet the needs of women with disabilities experiencing, or at risk of experiencing violence. The booklet contains case studies which highlight the types of discrimination experienced by women with disabilities when seeking refuge.
