Ten+ Years Later – We Are Visible updates the innovative community-based research project, We are Visible, conducted in 1996, and highlights the experiences of health and health care of ethno-cultural/racialized women with disabilities in Toronto. Through CBR and a literature review, this project works to understand the barriers to health and health care that ethno-cultural/racialized women with disabilities face and whether any progress has been made to address the issues discussed by the women in the original project.
Both the new report and the original report are available online at http://owhn.on.ca/wearevisible.htm
