Sarah will lead an interactive session which will delve into the intersections of disability and LGBTQIA+ identities to understand why an intersectional approach is crucial.

Using Compassionate Curiosity as our framework, this masterclass workshop will guide you through scenarios that will leave you confident about the importance and application of intersectionality in your workplace.

About Fight for Sight

Imagine being told that you, or someone you love, is losing their sight. In that moment, two profound questions demand urgent answers:

• Can this be stopped?
• How will I live my life?

Currently, research into preventing and treating sight loss is chronically underfunded, receiving a mere 1.5% of publicly funded health research grants. People who are blind or vision impaired are three times more likely to experience loneliness and isolation than the general population.

We find and fund the brilliant minds and bright ideas that put change in sight. Our researchers are at the forefront, making breakthroughs and discoveries that will help us better understand, prevent, diagnose and treat eye disease. The partnerships we build and initiatives we support are changing life for blind and vision impaired people.

We are Fight for Sight and we won’t stop until we: Save Sight. Change Lives.
