Participants shared their views and experiences on the celebration of March 8th, and were reminded of the essence of celebrating this holiday, which is the struggle of women for equality that began a long time ago, and which we continue together, with the even greater challenge faced by women with disabilities who are discriminated against in multiple ways. The importance of providing support and motivation to women with disabilities to become more involved in the work of organizations of people with disabilities and to be more visible in the community was discussed.
