Die 3000 Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer tauschen sich über Wege zu einer besseren Verwirklichung der Behindertenrechtskonvention der UN aus. Entwicklungsministerin Schulze erinnerte zum Auftakt daran, dass Inklusion ein grundlegendes Menschenrecht ist.

Dunno how he does it! Peter's (@desibility.bsky.social) Disability Debrief keeps finger on pulse - 'Right to be angry!' France disability-segregated; #GlobalDisabilitySummit & 'polycrisis' (disability governance, #Palestine, #Ukraine, censorship); Trump, aid cuts(!!); yet, legal landmarks. Support!
“We have a right to be angry” – protestors on the 20th anniversary of France's disability law.

All this more from around the world in today's Debrief, covering disability news from 45+ countries:

It is almost time for the #GlobalDisabilitySummit. We are looking forward to connecting with our colleagues working in community support, social protection, and data next week. We will also post updates here and on our other social media channels from #GDS2025.

In April, the #GlobalDisabilitySummit will take place in Berlin. Organisers (governments of Germany, Jordan, and IDA) have decided that the mass disabling event in #Gaza - part of the genocide of #Palestine - cannot be mentioned. Nor can Israel's crimes against humanity. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE.

Mein Eindruck: auf den Podien kamen viele Leute wegen Macht- und finanziellen Interessen. Regierug xy hat mitfinanziert also wollen Minister auf die Bühne. unternehmen xy hat mitfinanziert, also dürfen sie versteckte Werbung auf der Bühne machen.

Auf dem Mittwoch beginnenden #GlobalDisabilitySummit will die Bundesregierung die weltweite Umsetzung der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention in der #Entwicklungspolitik voranbringen. Der große Wurf bleibt hierbei jedoch aus, konstatiert VENRO vor Beginn des Gipfels. #GDS2025

Is the disability community inclusive of people with hidden impairments, including autistic people? Today at #GlobalDisabilitySummit it becomes clear that more needs to be done. Our autistic Policy Coordinator Florian is sure that the IL Movement is paving the way.

Another point concerning the #GlobalDisabilitySummit. As far as I know, #deinstitutionalisation isn't on the agenda at all (though a 'fireside chat' might be considered). Why? I'm wondering about how the event & themes aligns with Article 4(3) of the #CRPD which is about effective participation.

Mennesker med handicap skal inddrages mere bl.a. i udviklingsarbejdet.

Så tak til regeringen for på #GlobalDisabilitySummit at forpligte sig til styrket inklusion af mennesker med handicap i udviklingssamarbejdet.

Nu venter næste skridt.

Det skriver jeg om her: www.altinget.dk/udvikling/ar...

Where on earth is the fightback on this? Wait-and-see really isn't acceptable any more - impacts are immediate and probably not easily rolled back.

US Government (State Dept) also has a prime spot at the #GlobalDisabilitySummit - reasonable to expect the organisers to cancel that immediately.
The US aid freeze has a devastating impact, with “dreadful long term consequences” for disabled people and their families.

Disability organisations are among those sent sent reeling, with many having to stop work and send staff home.

I can only add that I have heard that there are "internal agreements" between the organisers that the word "genocide or implications of such" cannot appear in any text, videos or speeches concerning the #GlobalDisabilitySummit. If correct, it is absolutely unacceptable.
January 23, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Is it worth going to the #GlobalDisabilitySummit? No agenda (yet), sky-high Berlin hotels, visa sponsor letters not out yet(!!), no public criteria on side event selection (most non-OPD led), criticism that the mass disabling atrocity in #Palestine cannot be mentioned. Should I use my registration?

Let's get #deinstitutionalization and the leadership of #survivors onto the agenda of the #GlobalDisabilitySummit 💪🏽 #GDS2025
