    "Nothing About Us, Without Us!" is a well-known motto for the disability movement. It means that governments and other decision makers must include us in all issues that concern us as humans, not only as people with #disabilities. #DisabilityInclusion

    Thank you, @DrTedros, we are calling for @WHO to openly condemn any practices that discriminate against persons w #disabilities or deny them #COVID19 19 services. We need the voice of leaders such as yourself to explicitly condemn such practices & look forward to a swift response

    Thank you @IDA_CRPD_Forum for your urgent letter & strong collaboration with @WHO. #COVID19 poses a global threat & people with #disability must not be left behind in the response. All people need to be protected, regardless of whether or not they experience disability.
