Through participatory and arts-based research, the project explores how young women and girls engage with, sustain, and transform learning and activist networks across Southern contexts. It centres their lived experiences, creative practices, and community knowledge to reimagine disability, gender, and inclusion through decolonial and relational approaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By linking local and transnational experiences, Global South-CONNECT contributes to the growing movement for disability justice and decolonial futures &#8211; where disabled women and girls shape the research, narratives, and actions that affect their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n                \n        <div class=\"cu-column cu-component not-contained mx-auto grid max-w-5xl md:grid-cols-3 gap-6 md:gap-10\">\n            \n\n    <div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n        \n        \n            <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n                \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        Objectives\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n                            <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6\">\n                                \n\n                                    <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700\">\n                        Project Aims and Alignment with Decolonial Disability Research Global South-CONNECT is a collaborative research initiative that seeks to reimagine knowledge, activism and solidarity through the\n                                                    &#8230;\n                                            <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n        \n                    <footer class=\"px-6 pt-3 mt-auto text-white md:pt-5\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/global-south-connect\/objectives\/\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--red cu-button--small\">\n                    View Page\n                <\/a>\n            <\/footer>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n        \n        \n            <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n                \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        Research Team Members\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n                            <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6\">\n                                \n\n                                    <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700\">\n                        The Global South-CONNECT research team brings together scholars, activists and community organizations across Africa, Asia and the Americas who are committed to advancing decolonial disability\n                                                    &#8230;\n                                            <\/p>\n                            <\/div>\n        \n                    <footer class=\"px-6 pt-3 mt-auto text-white md:pt-5\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/global-south-connect\/research-team-members\/\" class=\"cu-button cu-button--red cu-button--small\">\n                    View Page\n                <\/a>\n            <\/footer>\n            <\/div>\n\n\n\n    <div class=\"not-prose cu-card rounded-lg @container md:max-w-xl flex flex-col gap-3 bg-white shadow-lg shadow-cu-black-100 group duration-300 ease-in hover:scale-[1.02] hover:shadow-cu-black-200\">\n\n        \n        \n            <header class=\"flex flex-col gap-3  px-6 first:mt-6\">\n                \n        \n    \n    <h2 class=\"line-clamp-3 text-lg font-semibold text-cu-black @sm:md:text-xl leading-6 @sm:md:leading-8\">\n        Knowledge Mobilization\n    <\/h2>\n\n            <\/header>\n\n\n                            <div class=\"flex flex-col px-6\">\n                                \n\n                                    <p class=\"text-base text-cu-black-700\">\n                        The Knowledge Mobilization section is the central creative and participatory space of Global South-CONNECT.
