A group of disability advocates is trying to bring touch back into the lives of women who may avoid services such as massages or manicures because of their intellectual disability.
At an event in Launceston, run by Citizen Advocacy and Soroptimist International, advocates offered hair brushing, manicures, neck and shoulder massages and belly dancing performances to women living in group homes or being cared for at home, to help them break out of their social isolation and connect with the wider community.
