Join us for a conference as part of the Disabled Women: Our Bodies Our Rights project. This will be a great opportunity to hear the views of disabled women and find out what we have learned throughout year and a half of consultations on disabled women's experiences of parenting and reproductive services in Scotland. We'll be launching a report which will share our findings and sets out recommendations to realise disabled women's reproductive rights.

We're delighted that Minister for Older People and Equalities, Christina McKelvie MSP, will be addressing the conference, which will be chaired by Dr Sally Witcher, CEO of Inclusion Scotland. We welcome disabled women, disabled people's organisations and health, social care and education professionals and policy-makers to attend to find out more and join the discussion.
