The importance of accessible communications for the inclusion agenda
For the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, we spoke with Camila Garcia Soundy, a UN Volunteer Digital Communications Officer, about the importance of accessible communications and how volunteerism can advance the inclusion agenda. Camila serves with the UN Development Programme (UNDP) in El Salvador, through the UNDP/UNV Talent Programme for Young Professionals with Disabilities.
Persons with disabilities are the largest minority group in the world. In Latin America and the Caribbean, they represent around 13 per cent of the population (Source: Inter-American Development Bank).
