In their 2nd Chain of Change video the Empowered Fe Fes wrote and performed a News Report investigating domestic violence against women with disabilities.
In this video the Fe Fes explore the barriers faced by women with disabilities in getting out of domestic violence situations. It also addresses the widespread forced sterilization of women with disabilities. In discussing these challenges, they raise awareness about what hurdles must be overcome and organized around to prevent victims of abuse.
