THE UNITED NATIONS POPULATION FUND (UNFPA) PROMOTES MEANINGFUL AND SUSTAINABLE INCLUSION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is working to promote meaningful and sustainable inclusion of persons with disabilities across all its programmes and operations and to effectively and systematically include persons with disabilities, especially women and young persons with disabilities in development, humanitarian, sustaining peace and peacebuilding settings.

As such, to initiate a dialogue to identify and strengthen advocacy, accountability, inclusion mechanisms and to identify key areas of interventions and potential partnerships UNFPA organised a stakeholder consultation with persons with disabilities and those who work with persons with disabilities in May 2023 at the UN Conference Hall.

Manique Gunaratne contributed on how to include women with disabilities and key priority areas.
