🌍 Today, on International Day of Families, we celebrate unity across borders. 95% of deaf children born to hearing families don't have access to sign language.

The WFD launches a policy paper advocating for sign language rights ➡️ wfdeaf.org/news/resources…

'State parties should acknowledge & facilitate participation of persons with disabilities. #Agenda2030 is progressing but where are the seats of the 1B #personswithdisabilities ? Also, the Pact for the future does not reference #personswithdisabilities .' Getty #2024UNCSC #WeCommit

📢 The 17th Conference of States Parties to the #CRPD is happening from 11-13 June United Nations in NY!

Disability is a cross cutting issue & OPDs are not limited to #SDG 10, with our intersectional identities, our experiences encompass a wider scope to include all the SDGs. As we head to the #2024UNCSC , we have a say in all the 5 chapters of the Pact for the Future. #WeCommit

'A seat at the table for 1 billion persons with #disabilities ' is a space for us to build a truly inclusive future for all. Join our discussion at the UN Civil Society Conference in Nairobi on Thursday 9 May #2024UNCSC

As we look forward to the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference, we've held a meeting with #OPDs and developed Key Messages on what it means for persons with #disabilities to be truly included in the #PactForTheFuture . #2024UNCS #WeCommit #Inclusion

There are an estimated 1.3 billion persons with disabilities.

Yet, as discussions begin on the Pact for the Future, the inclusion and recognition of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations have dwindled.
