UN Women Europe and Central Asia’s Post

In a fruitful meeting yesterday, Sightsavers and the National Gender Equality Commission team discussed disability inclusion and the importance of constitutional engagement. Their discussions were building on on previous discussions which will lead to a Memorandum of Understanding for collaboration. This collaboration will include working on a subcommittee as part of the Global Labour Programmes Inclusive Futures Advocacy work. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this collaboration on disability inclusion and constitutional engagement. #DisabilityInclusion #ConstitutionalEngagement #GlobalLabourProgrammes #InclusiveFuturesAdvocacy
