Bonnie Brayton is the Executive Director of the DisAbled Women’s Network of Canada.<\/p><\/div>\n

Bonnie Brayton, executive director of the Disabled Women\u2019s Network (DAWN) Canada,and Violence Against Women hub member, recently spoke to the Toronto Sta<\/em>r regarding a new StatCan report revealing startling numbers about experiences of violence for persons with disabilities.
