Calling the United Nations system to action on disability inclusion
In 2015, the United Nations made a promise—a transformative promise—to leave no one behind. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are at the very heart of that commitment to lift people up by championing inclusion and equality to improve lives.
Working with persons with disabilities is not new for the United Nations system. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) identifies and protects the rights of persons with disabilities. We must uphold these rights in our peace, development and humanitarian work.
