COSP18 Side Event: Ending Restrictive Practices Against First Nations People with Disability

Megan Spindler-Smith (Deputy-CEO, PWDA) and Tahlia-Rose Vanissum (Woppaburra Woman and First Nations Disability and Gender Justice Advocate) hosted an official COSP18 Side Event Ending Restrictive Practices Against First Nations People with Disability. This session brought together powerful voices from First Nations communities to highlight the ongoing use and harm of restrictive practices experienced by people with disability—particularly in settings such as schools, workplaces, hospitals, psychiatric institutions, and justice systems. With storytelling at its heart, the session centred the lived experiences of First Nations panelists, using art, personal narratives, and peer discussion to unpack the systemic impacts of discrimination, exclusion, and state violence.
