Fighting 4 Rights: Young People’s International Evidence Network for Disability & Solidarity

“This network is about young disabled people having a voice and a platform”
(steering group member)

“…gathering all of what we’ve got together, and what we are fighting for, because that’s what we are up against… what’s been set as norm.”
(steering group member)

We are together reaching out to young disabled people across the world to join our network:

• We organised two international research events (physical and online) in 2024
• We shared what works for collaborative research projects
• We developed ideas for projects that cross international boundaries

We want universities to support more collaborative research with young disabled people (up to age 30) across the globe. If you are interested in getting involved, please let us know. Our own website is coming soon – Friends Fighting For Rights | Friends fighting for rights

If you are an academic working with a group on peer led, co-created, collaborative or participatory research with young disabled people, please get in touch with Dr Deborah Crook dcrook5@uclan.ac.uk
