Creating Accessible Neighbourhoods (Live Educate Transform Society) created a video about our organization and work to break stigma about disability for Pacific AIDS Network‘s Let’s Talk Stigma Reduction event.
The event, held on June 11th, was a gathering of diverse individuals, organizations, and communities to talk about health-related stigma with an intersectional lens with people from different communities, experiences, and areas of work.
Let’s Talk Stigma Reduction! was a virtual event that brought together people working, thinking and living stigma reduction. We sought to bring people together from different areas and identities, in hopes of breaking down siloes, and looking for areas of collaboration to address the ‘isms’ people experience as forms of oppression.
We also wanted to think about, share and celebrate inspiring and innovative ways that people are acting to reduce stigma across what is commonly referred to as British Columbia.
This event hosted 18 remarkable speakers who spoke about their lived experience, their innovations, their perseverance and their ideas for how we can address stigma and oppression.
