Disabling Ableism - How rethinking our understanding of disability could improve lives

Professor Anne Kavanagh, Head of Gender and Women's Health Unit, Centre for Health Equity, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health shares how changes in her own life led her to question our understanding of the health of those living with a disability. A proud activist, Professor Kavanagh shows us that having a disability need not equal poor health - society needs to change.
