ALT Text: Sign the Petition. The impact of COVID-19 pandemic has been much greater for people with disabilities. Restore the disability budget. Image on a red background of a lady looking at the camera wearing a head scarf and holding a serious expression.
ALT Headshot of a woman lying on a bed, she is wearing glasses. It is black and white. Quote next to her says My attempts to get myself vaccinated have turned into a kind of Shakespearian saga it's so ridiculous. Trying to get vaccinated as a severely disabled person is really really REALLY hard. This should be easy, dammit!!
ALT This resolution is an important step toward sustained action and systemic change. More children live with a disability than any time in history, and the majority lack access to the essential health services that they need to safeguard their well-being and a life out of harms way, and to realize their potential in society. Integrating rehabilitation and AT in health systems is a high-impact way for countries to follow through on their commitments to human rights for all, march toward universal access to health care, and maximize the quality of life, social inclusion, civic participation, and economic potential of some of the world's most vulnerable citizens.
