The I Can't Stand Podcast

Trigger Warning.  This is a very heavy but very important episode. I am sure your news feed has been full of updates about the war in Ukraine. I know mine has.  The choice of fleeing your country or staying put despite danger is one that we all hope never to have to face. Can you imagine living through war while also having a disability?  It's something that I wanted to explore and highlight.    If you want and have the capacity to donate to disabled people of Ukraine: Humanity and Inclusion  Better understand the charity: Charity Navigator  References for this episode:  UN: War’s Impact on People with Disabilities Security Council Meeting to Focus on Risks, Needs People with Disabilities at Added Risk in War, Displacement The Fate of People with Disabilities in War Persons with Disabilities in the Context of Armed Conflict Submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Disability and Armed Conflict Alice Priddy 2019 Geneva Academy Of International Humanitarian Law And Human Rights People with disabilities and mobility issues find themselves trapped in Kyiv From CNN's Ivana Kottasova in Kyiv BCC Global News Podcast: War in Europe: Russia invades Ukraine     Contact Peta Instagram @petahooke The website www.icantstandpodcast.com Email: icantstandpodcast@gmail.com Episode Transcript See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
