For many girls and women with spinal injuries, the internet is a lifeline —
but too often it becomes a place of harassment, threats, bullying, and abuse.

This 16 Days of Activism, we say NO to digital violence that silences, shames, and isolates.

🔥 Girls and women with spinal disabilities deserve safety, dignity, and respect online.
🔥 Their voices matter — and must be protected.

What we can do:
✔ Stand against ableist online harassment
✔ Support girls and young women with spinal disabilities in digital communities
✔ Advocate for accessible and secure online platforms
✔ Protect privacy and promote digital literacy

Violence online is real violence.
Together, let’s create a digital world where every woman can speak freely and safely.

In Loving Memory of Rachael,

This week, we mourn the loss of Rachael, a girl with a spinal cord injury whose life was tragically cut short due to complications from pressure sores.

Her passing reminds us of urgent need for accessible healthcare, proper wound management, and stronger support systems for persons with

Pressure sores are preventable.
No one should lose their life because essential care and equipment are out of reach.

Rest in Peace, Rachael
Your light continues to guide our work.

Today is World Mental Health Day.🧠

The (SCI) journey often includes invisible battles: depression, anxiety, loss of identity, and the challenge of adapting to a new reality.

🌱These mental health struggles deserve just as much attention and care as the physical ones.

Let’s break the silence around mental health in the SCI community.
Let’s advocate for access to counseling, peer support, and rehabilitation that recognizes the whole person — body and mind.

This year's theme "Empowering independence through innovation and inclusion" recognizes the latest advancement in technology that has expanded possibilities for persons living with SCIs.

From improved rehabilitation technology like functional electrical stimulation that has enabled survivors regain some functions.
