Thank you 🇩🇪 @GermanyUN for the generous contribution that enabled 🇺🇳 DGACM to provide International Sign interpretation for the #SummitOfTheFuture. 🙌
Sign interpretation promotes #accessibility, inclusion and diversity - especially at high-level events such as the #SummitOfTheFuture. Germany was proud enabler of sign interpretation during the adoption of the #PactForTheFuture on 22-23 September at UNHQ.

Disability is a cross cutting issue & OPDs are not limited to #SDG 10, with our intersectional identities, our experiences encompass a wider scope to include all the SDGs. As we head to the #2024UNCSC, we have a say in all the 5 chapters of the Pact for the Future. #WeCommit

As we look forward to the 2024 UN Civil Society Conference, we've held a meeting with #OPDs and developed Key Messages on what it means for persons with #disabilities to be truly included in the #PactForTheFuture. #2024UNCS #WeCommit #Inclusion

There are an estimated 1.3 billion persons with disabilities.
Yet, as discussions begin on the Pact for the Future, the inclusion and recognition of persons with disabilities and their representative organizations have dwindled.
