On March 6, on the occasion of the celebration of International Women’s Month, El Poder de Ser Mujer organized its 6th annual conference in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
Multicultural Families’/ECNV’s Rosalia Fajardo was invited as a speaker to present at the conference on the inclusion of women and girls with disabilities. The audience of more than 200 Latina immigrant women heard for the first time on the subject of Inclusion for the rights of women and girls with disabilities and the double discrimination they often endure for being women and also having a disability. Rosalia was very proud to raise awareness in the multicultural community about the inclusion of women with disabilities for an audience that has rarely heard about this important topic.
