Disability Inclusion Trainings Autumn 2019
There are about one billion people with disabilities in the world – 80% live in developing countries. People with disabilities experience discrimination and are often excluded from education, livelihood opportunities and their local community.
The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint for achieving a better and more sustainable future for all. By 2030, no one should live in poverty or experience hunger, and everyone should have good health and a quality education. To achieve this, the world leaders have agreed to Leave no one behind and to reach those who are hardest to reach.
During the Global Disability Summit held last summer, the Norwegian government signed the Charter for Change. Together with governments from 44 other countries, they agreed to:
- Eliminate stigma and discrimination through legislation and policies
- Support inclusive quality education for people with disabilities
- Open up routes to economic empowerment and financial inclusion so that persons with disabilities can enjoy decent work
- Make all humanitarian action fully inclusive and accessible to persons with disabilities.
