Juju has autism. She needs information given to her in specific language she can understand. Officials are not trained to communicate this way, so without her carer to interpret what is being asked of her, she cannot follow instructions or take part safely. Her carer is not an advantage. Her carer is how Juju understands what is happening at all.
At the last two Australian national championships, Juju was denied the carer support she needs to compete. We are pursuing this through the proper legal channels, to establish a clear precedent so that no athlete is left in this position again.
Juju is not competing at the Commonwealth Games, she will never qualify at an international level in Athletics. This campaign is not asking for that. Glasgow matters because in 5 days the world will celebrate the most inclusive Games in history. Juju is asking for that same inclusion at her own level, at home, in Australian competition, where she has earned her place.
Please help her. Sign the petition, link in bio.
