    Sexual rights are human rights!! It is a common misconception that people with disability are not sexual beings and do not need sexual education or inclusion - but the reality is that people with disability are just as sexual as everyone else. With as much variance as you can find in the general community. In this video, Mel breaks down what some of those misconceptions are and what the truth is.

    a light blue tile with some decorative squiggles and circles on it. The text reads "International Day of Persons with Disabilities. 3 December 2024." There is a photo of a couple with Intellectual Disability having a cuddle. They look happy.

    Today is the International Day of Persons with Disabilities! Hurray!! The point of this day is to promote the rights and well-being of people with disability in all areas of life, all over the world. Which fits very neatly into the core principle of this project- that people with disability have a right to sexual and social safety always and everywhere. Despite the many things you might read today, you will almost certainly see something that only focus on the inspirational value of people with disability.... Push past those terrible takes and remember that ALL people are sexual beings with a right to express their sexuality and intersectionality in any way they choose.

    a blue tile with two darker blue corners. In the center of the tile is the title cover of the Guidelines document. Above the document are the words "National Guidelines". It also says, "new free resource. Co-designed with the disability community!" The Safer Me Safer You logo is in the bottom left hand corner.

    Our new National Guidelines are ready for you to use!! We all know that safety is important to everyone. Everyone has a right to be socially and sexually safe always and everywhere. Safety means different things to different people. However, we all share responsibility for keeping each other safe. Workplaces and workers have a responsibility to create environments that increase social and sexual safety for people with disability. An important way to do this is to increase awareness and understanding of, and adopt consistent approaches to, improving social and sexual safety. The Guidelines give everyone a way to think about what is already in place to create social and sexual safety and what can be done to make all workplaces safer. Want more information? Go to our the Guidelines page on our website for a video explainer, the pdf Guidelines document and more! #Disability #NothingAboutUsWithoutYou #Safety #FreeResource #LearningTogether Image description: tile 1- a blue tile with two darker blue corners.
