“Addressing housing inequity through Universal Design” 香港仁人家園《房屋講場》系列一：通過共用化設計解決住房不平等問題
This first event builds on our conversation at last year's Housing Forum about the intersection of housing and inclusion. At this exciting launch event, Dr. Calvin Luk will join Judy Heumann to share his experience and expertise on the topic of Universal Design* and how we can take action to address systemic inequities in Hong Kong through barrier-free environments.
Judy Huemann, an International Disability Rights Advocate, has been instrumental in the development and implementation of legislation, such as Section 504, the Individuals with Education Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Rehabilitation Act, and the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Judy is also featured in the Oscar-nominated documentary, Crip Camp: A Disability Revolution.
《房屋講場》系列正式登場！香港仁人家園於香港房屋論壇探討的「共融」和「房屋」話題延伸至《房屋講場》系列。透過這系列的網上研討會，我們的客席講者將分享他們在通用設計*這主題上的專業經驗和知識，以及我們如何採取行動，通過「無障礙環境」解決社區上不平等這系統性問題。

1.9.2020 RTHK CIBS Talk “The Oldies in the Loo”
CIBS 節目:廁是故人來
第九集:不完善的無障礙公廁
俗稱「殘廁」的「暢通易達」廁所，官方資料顯示，目前有357所食環署轄下公廁設有一間或以上「暢通易達」廁所，供傷健人士、長者和跨性別人士等人士使用，佔全港公廁總數799所近半。加上該廁所長期貼上「等待維修」通告或用鐵鏈鎖上，嚴重妨礙有需要人士使用。另外，公廁供應者忽視了弱勢或盲人使用者的權利，地上的盲人引路指示到「暢通易達」廁所門口後就沒有指示了，安裝盲人感應指示，讓他們知道廁所內設施位置。
