LAWYER Isabella Kila says she is passionate about advocating for people with disability and is trying to improve their access to justice with support from the Australian government.
Kila, 26, who recently graduated from the Legal Training Institute, has long been active in promoting the rights of young people with disability, including increasing awareness of their circumstances and needs.
She is currently using her talents to help address the many challenges confronting women and girls with disability, particularly those who experience family and sexual violence.
As a person with disability herself, Kila is keen to improve the way the legal system and survivor support services treat people with disability.
“I am a dedicated advocate for people with disability and a lawyer,” she said.
“I strongly believe that policies should consider all aspects of life for people with disability and promote equal opportunities for all.”
