Since I could remember I was perceived as the underdog. Someone who would never achieve anything in life. The norm of the world society use their prejudgment to judge me on what I represent and not who I am and what I can be in the future. 
I had meningitis when I was young and I became a quadriplegia. Because of my disability I need assistance with the basic hygienically care of life. For example; assists in transferring myself in and out my wheelchair etc.
I was a victim of molestation by a family member between the ages of seven to ten years old. It was continuously over a three-year period. When I turned eighteen years old a very close family member started sexually harass me. It would continue until I was thirty-seven years old and managed to leave my country of birth.
I also had to endure negative and biased comments such as “You’ll never go to school” or “You’ll never be able to say a word” or “You’ll never be able to graduate from high school etc.”
All my life I was subjected to mental and sexual abuse and burdened to financially provide for my family from the time I started working.

I was asked to come to Australia by my sponsor. I thought I finally found safety, security and peace however I was wrong. Again I suffered domestic violence at the hands of my sponsor. Whenever we argued my sponsor would refuse to get me a drink, when he was at home. I could not access water, because the cups were too high or to low for my reach. Often I would not have anything to eat and my sponsor would not assist me to go to the bathroom. My sponsor knew that when things were too high or too low for me I would not be able to reach them. My sponsor began putting things deliberately out of my reach. When I had nothing to drink for the whole day or night I would develop sores in my mouth, which hampered my ability to eat anything for a week. I became too afraid to ask him for the things that I needed for fear that I would upset him. I was especially afraid to ask for these things when he was already angry so I didn’t ask as much. My sponsor always threatened to leave me, which made me feel very scared. If he left me, it would have placed me at a high risk of physical deterioration, as I would have had no one to care for me.

My sponsor would often threaten to withdraw my sponsorship. He made threats saying that he heard I was going to be deported. I believe he wanted to scare me as he knew about my situation and the abuse I suffered at the hands of my family. His threats caused me to feel very afraid and upset. He would say to me that he would leave me in bed, he would walk out of the house and never come back and I would have to find a way to help myself. He indicated that he would leave me with nothing except the bills, and that he was not responsible for me and I would have no choice, but to return to my country of birth. He stated that no one would help me here in Australia and no one would look or find him. My sponsor would tell me if I wanted money I would need to find work, even if I have to sell myself (he referred to prostitution). My sponsor abandoned me three years ago after he found someone else.

I have applied for Australian Permanent Residence on the grounds of the above domestic violence, however my application was refused due to my disability. I have applied for an Australian health waiver on the grounds of compassionate and compelling circumstances. The above application was again recently refused due to my disability.
Isn’t there any compassion in this world anymore? Why does society keep judging me on what I represent and not who I am and what I can be in the future. Why can’t I also have a future where I can be an advocate for Australian disabled individuals?
I self-published two poetry anthologies. Their titles are; SUNSET, SUNRISE, SUNSET; SOON A NEW DAY WILL DAWN and WINTER, AUTUMN, SUMMER, SPRING.
I am now working on two novels. The first one will be a young adult fantasy sci-fi and the second one will be an enlightening novel on the subject of Cerebral Palsy.
I also recently enrolled in an Australian university to complete my law degree, but I also going to study a political degree. The latter degree will assist me in breaking down the barriers which still assist in Australia that allows discrimination against the disabled. It would also provide me with the foundation to be a politician for the human rights of the disabled in Australia.
I live in terrifying fear that I would be forced to return to my country of birth (which is a third world country) as a result of the refusal of my Australian citizenship application. I would be unsafe no matter where I live in my country of birth. The crime in my country of birth is starting to spiral out of control.
I will also lose all my independency I currently enjoy in Australia and I will not be able to fulfill my life passion which is to give other disabled individuals hope and to fight for better Human Rights for the disabled.
Accordingly to the United Nations human rights are; Human rights are rights inherent to all human beings, whatever our nationality, place of residence, sex, national or ethnic origin, colour, religion, language, or any other status. We are all equally entitled to our human rights without discrimination. These rights are all interrelated, interdependent and indivisible.

Don’t I also have the human right to ask to stay in a country where I feel safe, secure and protected?

 Please sign my petition should you believe in Human rights which includes everyone.
