Global organisations need country-specific information to be disability inclusive everywhere they operate. This is why we created 'Disability around the world', our guide to disability inclusion in countries around the globe. It provides vital information about the law, language, employment and other key topics in different countries. This resource is open to our Partners and Global Taskforce members only. Access it via our interactive map, or our list arranged by continent: https://ow.ly/YjJ850UcO8u [Image description: Disability around the world graphic: icon of a magnifying glass on a globe in a white circle, against a purple background.
