Our aim is to give disabled people information and support material to help them take effective action for themselves.
DAA’s work primarily targets disabled people and their organisations, ensuring that disabled women and other underrepresented groups are fully integrated into all programmes and policies.
Although our target audience are disabled people, our materials are also routinely used by governments, statutory authorities, schools, television and radio stations, the general public and academics.
