About this Short Film
"Gender and Employment: Gender Matters" (Canadian Institute for Inclusion & Citizenship and Inclusion BC, Canada, 2022) examines how gender shapes work opportunities for people with disability. The film explores themes of employment, stereotypes, prejudice and possibility across congenital, intellectual, physical and sensory disability, and looks at how perception and motivation affect young adults seeking work. It does not assume a single storyline, but offers prompts for conversation about supports, attitudes and inclusion in the workplace. A concise, thoughtful contribution to the Focus on Ability festival, it will resonate with audiences interested in employment practices, advocacy and everyday ways to make work more accessible.
