Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend! As you may know, yesterday was International Day Of Persons With Disabilities, a day for listening to people with disabilities and learn how they feel, what they need, how can we help. I love how the author insist in calling the day “for” people with disabilities rather than "of" to highlight how people with disabilities must be involved and their voices must be present. Here’s an article shared by Business Disability Forum where you can learn how to start! #Diversity #Inclusion #IDPD

Disability History of Canada: Chapter 1 Understanding history is important not only to understand, but to learn from. Do you know how many politicians and civil servants don't know disability history in Canada? Do you know how many architects, interior designers, landscape architects, urban planners, etc. don't know disability rights or accessible design legislation requirements? This is worth reading. Please share. #disability #history #Canada #cdnpoli #AccessibleCanada #AODA #AMA #NSAA #ABCA #NLAA #ASA #inclusion #equality #equity #accessibility #architecture #InteriorDesign #LandscapeArchitecture #UrbanPlanning #design #education #Resources #Resources #legislation

It is great to see health equity in all areas of DEI; as someone who is Neurodivergent seeing organizations like Cedars-Sinai being recognized for disabled empowerment is inspiring towards my future career in healthcare. #allabilities #healthcareforall #workforall

The Australian Government’s upcoming International Disability Equity and Rights Strategy (IDEARS) is set to guide disability inclusion across Australia’s development program for the coming 5-10 years. The third such strategy, IDEARS comes at a critical time where, at the halfway mark of Agenda 2030, people with disabilities are the group left farthest behind in progress made. And people with disabilities risk falling yet further behind in the face of escalating climate crisis and economic upheaval. Along with colleagues in Australia’s development and disability sector and our regional partners, CBM Australia is calling on the government to ensure their forthcoming strategy goes far enough in addressing the needs and priorities of people with disabilities in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond. To achieve substantial and sustainable positive change in the lives of millions of people with disabilities in our region, CBM CEO @JaneDEdge says IDEARS needs to be ambitious, accountable and resourced.

Did you know that globally women with disabilities are far less likely to be employed (32 %) than men without disabilities (70 %). And that is just one statistic. We need to eliminate the structural barriers that exclude women with disabilities from participating in decision-making. Governments must listen to women and conduct research on how to ensure the economic inclusion of women with #disabilities and budget accordingly within existing or new gender-focused policies and programmes. #EmbraceEquity #IWD2024. The Australian Government has a chance to make a significant difference to women with disabilities with their new IDEARS strategy. CBM Australia’s detailed submission to Government provides a detailed roadmap on a way forward.
