Doin’ It: Sex, Disability and Videotape is sure to shake up perceptions about people with disabilities.
“People think that girls and guys with disabilities don’t want to have sex at
all,” explained Empowered Fe Fe and disability rights
activist Veronica Martinez, 19. The Fe Fes shatter stereotypes by discussing
sexual health, reproductive rights, eugenics and more .
In Why They Gotta Do Me Like That: The Empowered
Fe
Fes Take on Bullying young women
with disabilities show us how we can work together to understand and stop
school-based discrimination, particularly against people with disabilities. The
Fe Fes offer tongue-in-cheek dreamscapes depicting everyday bullying and
solutions that can be used by any student, teacher, or administrator.
Both films are captioned. The event is wheelchair
accessible.
