This session is part of the Power of Disability Inclusion meetups for Strategic Partners of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the start of the Power of Disability Inclusion meetups the need was expressed to organise a session to strengthen the link between the gender and disability lobby.
The webinar aims to bridge gaps between the gender and the disability movements, by providing insights into the work that is being done at the gender & disability intersection. It will showcase practical examples of women with disabilities’ advocacy involvement at international, national, and local levels as well as enable collaboration and knowledge-sharing among the consortia.
