The rights of persons with disabilities are human rights.
All development programming must be inclusive of these rights, and gender-responsive.
This week at #COSP16, UN Women is co-hosting a number of side events: unwo.men/LgGY50OMj7M
Join us there!

Today, we lost a powerful voice for justice and inclusion. We celebrate the life and legacy of Judy Heumann, also called the 'mother' of the disability rights movement, whose advocacy and generosity touched so many, including our team. Rest in peace, Judy.

On this day, the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law prohibiting discrimination based on disability in the U.S. 32 years later, the @SpecialOlympics #UnifiedGeneration shows what can be done when you #ChooseToInclude.

Happy 32nd Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act! From fighting for Section 504 in 1977 to testifying before Congress in 1988, it was a joyous day when the ADA was finally passed on July 26th, 1990. Though, even 32 years later, there is still more work to be done.

Disability happens at any age, when you never expected it! #Stroke affected our family, and now my friend's family too. Please help if you can #stroke #disability #elderly gofund.me/9a1c83d4

Nursing home residents haven't seen their families in 100 days. Connection matters as much as protecting residents and staff from the virus. We can support residents' needs and still protect residents and staff. #ConnectionMatters #VisitationSavesLives @SeemaCMS @CMSgov

"No institution - neither large residences, nor small group homes - can be an adequate alternative to growing up in a family. Access to specialised services cannot be an excuse for the institutionalisation of children with disabilities." #HRC40
