These powerful portraits and vignettes – from alumni of Mobility International USA (MIUSA)’s Women’s Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD) – illustrate the issues that significantly impact their lives: access to education, employment, political power, reproductive health services, and HIV/AIDS and violence prevention.
The Brilliant and Resilient book accompanies the traveling photo exhibition. All materials are available in English and Spanish as well as audio format.
Revenues from the exhibition and book sales support the next generation of emerging women leaders with disabilities to participate in MIUSA’s women’s leadership trainings. MIUSA’s women’s programs support the implementation of Article 6 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which promotes the full development, advancement and empowerment of women with disabilities.
