Inclusive Employment Promotion

Employment provides income, boosts self-esteem and fosters social integration, a key to social cohesion and long-term stability. Every person has the right to work. The CRPD requires us to ensure that persons with disabilities can access employment on an equal basis with others. Yet for many of the 1.3 billion persons with disabilities worldwide, decent work remains out of reach. Despite global commitments, development efforts often don’t target them appropriately. Most projects are still not accessible and fail to address their needs. So, join us to remind the world to make employment programmes more inclusive.
