Disability Stories Repository
1 August 2024Disability Stories Repository
This repository aims to a comprehensive collection of EDI (Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion) materials, including movies,
anime, books, and TV series that cover themes such as anti-racism, LGBTQ+,
disability, gender violence, gender discrimination, and positive stories from
minority perspectives. The lists and thematic areas are not exhaustive and might
sometimes be unbalanced. We will update such a list yearly.
