From the Boston Globes "Big Picture" photo blog via the excellent Feminists with Disabilities website. I like most of what FWD posts a lot, but I found these two images particularly powerful and heartbreaking, so I thought I would pass them on:

I would also note that I find the information offered by the Boston Globe problematic, as it seems to frame the issue as one of supposedly "backward" cultural beliefs, rather than connecting the lack of support more to the intense poverty shown in some other images within the series.

“Most progressive and radical non-disabled activists have not added disability to their political agenda. As flawed as the politics around race, gender, class and sexuality can be, there is often a lot of intention to work for social justice around those categories. Disability simply hasn't been added to the mix and through that omission there is so much missing; disability is fundamental to how power and privilege work.”
