Join us CSW69!
According to the World Bank, 1 out of 5 women in the world have some form of disability. With a global population of 4 Billion, that amounts to a staggering 800 million disabled women that suffer abuse, discrimination and stigma due to their gender and disability!
Despite the historic 1995 Beijing Platform for Action that laid the groundwork for gender equality, we have consistently left disabled women far behind in our race to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.
Our belief in the power of collaboration is proving that working together is the means for creating positive global change. As a result, women are being empowered with knowledge about feminine/family health, nutrition, disease prevention and vocational skills as they reach their full potential in life. Discover how the power of collaboration is empowering the world’s most oppressed women and girls to reach their full potential.
