Looking forward to strengthened promotion of the rights of persons with disabilities affected by humanitarian emergencies
This event will bring together key humanitarian, development and disability actors for a dialogue and call to action on promoting the rights of persons with disabilities affected by humanitarian emergencies. The event will highlight the actions needed to ensure that the rights of persons with disabilities affected by humanitarian emergencies are protected and that they are not left behind in humanitarian and actions and in longer-term peace and development processes and outcomes. Central to the discussion will be the role of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations. The discussion will be framed around the situation in Afghanistan, bringing in also other examples from the field.
