Su vida y su obra están atravesadas por un "hilo rojo" compuesto de múltiples cuestiones que la han apasionado desde sus primeros años de activismo político, en la década de los sesenta. Pero, de entre todas ellas, destacan dos, especialmente: las injusticias sociales que asolan la sociedad contemporánea y las contradicciones que produce el sistema capitalista.

Snatched from their homes and sold by strangers, friends, and even family members, 15,000 women and 5,000 girls are trafficked out of Nepal each year. Many are forced to become sex slaves before they reach the age of 10. In No Longer Untouchable, Devisara “Hannah” Badi and her sisters bring you into this appalling reality as they tell their stories. As part of Nepal’s Badi community, they are considered by many the worthless dust of Nepal. With that lowly caste status comes extreme poverty, a lack of basic rights, and a life of prostitution.

As a boy, severely disabled after contracting polio as a baby in working class Liverpool, Bert Massie found himself wondering why disabled people were expected to adapt to the world around them, and not the other way round. In his teens, he began to campaign for rights for disabled people, and having battled his way through prejudice and the education system to become a Bachelor of Arts and a qualified social worker, he became a prominent figure in the fight for fair treatment for disabled people leading to the ground breaking Disability Discrimination Act.
