Award category:
Siyu (Suzanna) Chen is an autistic person passionate about disability equality and youth leadership in education and beyond. Her activism involves everything from exhibiting photographs at a neurodivergent creativity conference, facilitating events for local autism nonprofits, representing disabled students at University College London (UCL), to representing disability-focussed Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) campaigns by international charities during United Nations events. Having noticed both a lack of young people in disability advocacy and disabled people in youth activism, Siyu is actively working to bridge the gap by advising on youth issues within Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) and ensuring disabilities are included in campaigns for children and youths. She is also keen on exploring creative ways of advocating for disability rights, exemplified by her work on facilitating a data visualisation project that contributes to lessening the information gap on health outcomes of D/deaf communities in Nigeria as a committee member of the nonprofit Viz for Social Good.
