Check the article in Voices & Views: "Including Disability in All Aspects of Development"
Discussion details
The Conference "Leave no one behind: tackling inequalities of persons with disabilities in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development" (Brussels, 3rd December 2015) was an excellent opportunity to gather EU decision makers and staff together with organisations of persons with disabilities from the EU Member States and from developing countries to reinforce the EU's commitment to the CRPD and the inclusive SDGs, and to get the opinion of relevant stakeholders about the way forward. The concluding "10 Points of Action" will certainly be an inspiring document for the work ahead.
I would like to draw your attention to the following article published in Voices & Views:
https://capacity4dev.ec.europa.eu/article/including-disability-all-aspects-development
This article was drafted on the basis of the Conference and the discussions held with many of the participants at the sides of it.
It also includes short video interviews with María Jesús Varela Méndez, from ONCE Foundation for Latin America, Alzouma Maiga Idriss, from the Africa Disability Forum and Ulrike Last, from Handicap International, and the opening speech of Commissioner Mimica.
Enjoy the reading!
