At 14, Husnah was the youngest Paralympian at the 2020 Games, and this year she’s back in the pool to represent Uganda! "Instead of hiding my hand, I raise it up to show people that I wouldn't be where I am without pushing through that barrier of disability stigma and my love of sport.… I joined sports to prove society wrong.” Good luck to all the competitors from the Equal World campaign! https://lnkd.in/dha6d6sT

Globally, there's a lack of accurate data on disability, leaving people at risk of exclusion when they're not counted. At Sightsavers, we’re promoting inclusive data to ensure that no one is left behind. Here's the top 3 things we've learned so far: 1. Inclusive data leads to improved analysis and insights, helping us to better understand the people who are being left behind, and how we can support them. 2. We must influence governments to improve their collection and use of inclusive data so they can better understand their populations. 3. Collaboration with other organisations and people with disabilities is key to driving change and advocating for inclusive data.
