Please register via Zoom: https://bit.ly/WVInclusion

During this session, you will have the opportunity to hear directly from children, women, civil society partners, and parents about the significance of supporting leadership for people and children with disabilities. Their insights and experiences will shed light on the critical role that inclusive leadership plays in creating a just and equitable society.

Your participation will greatly enrich the discussions and contribute to our collective efforts to promote disability inclusion and leadership. By working together, we can create a world where all children are included, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Celebrating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities

Every year on December 3rd, we celebrate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. This special day is all about promoting the rights and well-being of people with disabilities and raising awareness about the challenges they face. This year's theme, "Amplifying the leadership of persons with disabilities for an inclusive and sustainable future," is a call to action. It highlights the importance of recognising and empowering people with disabilities to lead the way towards a more inclusive world.

At World Vision, we're committed to ensuring that everyone, including people with disabilities, has the opportunity to reach their full potential. By incorporating Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) into our programs, we strive to create a more equitable and just world for all.
