Women with disabilities struggle to access breast screening and cervical smears.
Often mammogram machines ( I don’t know their proper name) don’t go low enough if a woman can’t stand.
If a woman can transfer from a wheelchair to a plynth without a hoist she can’t have a smear.
We know screening saves lives, women with disabilities deserve equal access. Please sign this petition to improve funding so that women with disabilities can be supported to access services
We want the government to increase funding to ensure every facility is properly equipped to provide equal care. All women, regardless of disability, should be able to access cancer screenings without fear of exclusion, humiliation, or inadequate care.
