According to World Bank, 1 in 5 women have a disability. While they experience same obstacles as nondisabled women, they face more discrimination that prevent participation in society. For balanced perspective voices of women with disabilities must be included in initiatives.

Almost 90% of children with disabilities in developing countries do not attend school. Without inclusive & equitable education millions will be left behind. 80-90% of learners can be educated in mainstream schools (UNICEF) with well-trained teachers & strong peer support.

Did you know that 2.5 billion people need at least one form of assistive technology? Glasses, a hearing aid or a wheelchair, most people on the planet will require AT at some point in their life. We’re supporting #UnlockTheEveryday to help improve access to assistive technology.

Ableism creates a social sphere where PWD face discrimination due to others’ ignorance or discomfort. To interact respectfully overcoming our conditioning & bias is necessary. Help educate others & speak up when you see ableism. Ultimately, disability is part of diversity.

We're myth-busting again! According to @NDCS_UK, only 30-40% of speech sounds can be lip-read. Children & adults often use lip-reading in combination with other building blocks such as auditory training, cued speech & others. Let's break down the barriers that keep us apart.

One of the biggest challenges PWD face is ableism - discrimination, actions & beliefs in favour of able-bodied persons. Ableism impacts all aspects of society. By recognizing it we can begin to challenge this form of discrimination & break down the barriers that keep us apart.
