New materials
on disability awareness are included in the 2001 edition of the
Domestic Violence Awareness Month information packet distributed
by the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence. The information
packet, Domestic Violence Awareness: Tips, Tactics and Resources,
is the NRC's "how-to manual" for conducting domestic violence outreach,
media advocacy and awareness campaign events. The special section
on including women with disabilities appears in chapter two (pages
17-24) under the heading "Including Diverse Communities." Disability
materials include fact sheets with statistics on crimes against
people with disabilities, an outline of key provisions of the Americans
with Disabilities Act pertaining to nonprofits, and a set of guidelines
on communicating respectfully and appropriately with people with
various types of disabilities. The fact sheets and guidelines can
be distributed as a single packet or used as separate handouts in
