Webinar Series: Hate, Harm and Violence against Disabled People: Perpetration, Victim Impacts and Offender Motivation

Webinar Series 2027

Speaker: David Wilkin

People with disabilities may be considered to be less fortunate than others'. People with disabilities usually do not want to have  those impairments. People with disabilities have enough difficulties to face every day.

So, why is it that disabled people in the UK are facing increased levels of violence? What types of abuse, or physical and sexual violence do disabled people face on a daily basis? What are the impacts of such abuse? Who are those perpetrating such attacks and why do they do it? This presentation will answer these questions and shine a light on an under-researched area.
