MISSION

F.R.I.D.A.’s goals from our start have been the following:

• FRIDA is led by and for women with disabilities
• FRIDA responds to issues affecting women with disabilities
• FRIDA is radicalized women, representing ourselves
• FRIDA raises awareness about the issues that affect us
• FRIDA provides a safe space for women with disabilities and those who identify
  as a woman with a disability, regardless of sexuality

Our logo, the FRIDA “eyes,” is based upon Frida Kahlo’s eyes in a photograph by Nickolas Muray. You can view the original photo here.
