The crowd listening to speakers at Walthamstow Town Square. Ariane Sacco from WinVisible spoke against violence against disabled women and girls by attackers and by the police.
On Saturday 29 January, WinVisible took part in Waltham Forest Reclaim the Night, organised by Waltham Forest Women’s Network. At the rally in Walthamstow Town Square, Ariane Sacco from WinVisible spoke against violence against disabled women and girls. Here is her speech on video:
Women and children marched from Leyton and Walthamstow to Walthamstow Town Square. We all chanted, “Safe streets — now!” Video clip of the march here.
Speakers included Waltham Forest Women’s Network, poet Andreena Leeanne and Susan Pashkoff from East London Unite Community, who kindly invited us. Individual women of different backgrounds and ages spoke movingly about their own experiences of abuse, and how these affected their lives, to this day even from a long time ago.
