Our Toxic Tech report found that 69.7% of women with disabilities surveyed experienced technology-facilitated gender-based violence (TFGBV). Our report calls for technology platforms to make accessibility a core part of their safety systems. This means: - Making reporting tools accessible: - Building accessibility into safety features: - Making content moderation more responsive - Improving access to redress To know more about the recommendations, read our toxic tech report here shorturl.at/UJEtH Women with disabilities should not have to work around inaccessible systems to get protection from online abuse. #ToxicTech #DigitalRights #OnlineSafety #DisabilityInclusion

@grace jerry highlighted that her big idea is, 1. How can ministries begin to think inclusion from the initial stage, even from the budgetary processes? 2. How do you shift from welfare and charity to self-sustaining economic empowerment for women and girls in our society? The big idea for @gracejjerry is where when you talk about reforms and it begins to become inclusive of our community from the get-go before it becomes an afterthought. #BIP2026 #LeadingWithOurHumanity #Governance #Inclusion

Dr. Kole Shettima mentioned in his remarks that, "if you look at the institutions of traditional political recruitment, a child will go to their grandparents to stay with them. They will learn and imbibe several forms of cultures, and then in that process, they will be appointed as a leader before they become what they become. But here we are, and as a country, where we think that money determines everything, people amass so much wealth, and they don't have any responsibility to anyone." He ended his remarks with a statement: "To me it is to really rectify the process of political recruitment in our country. " #BIP2026 #LeadingWithOurHumanity #Governance #Inclusion

As the Village Square Conversation came to a close, the moderator(@rex_rukeh) reminded us that leading with our humanity begins with action, innovation, and community-driven solutions. Through the stories and ideas shared, we witnessed practical examples of what is already working, from inclusion and accountability to justice, storytelling, and grassroots engagement. The goal of the Big Ideas Platform is simple: inspire more people to turn ideas into solutions that elevate communities and amplify voices that deserve to be heard. #BIP2026 #LeadingWithOurHumanity #Inclusion #Governance

Drawing Lessons from Elevating Our Communities, Dr. Amina Salihu, mni (@Amina_Salihu) reflected on the importance of grassroots leadership, inclusion, and human connection in shaping sustainable development. In her reflections, @Amina_Salihu reminded the audience that “Politics is local and everything is political,” emphasizing the importance of building communities that balance both physical structures and human connection. For her, sustainable development begins from the grassroots, because everyone counts. #BIP2026 #LeadingWithOurHumanity #Inclusion #Governance

"People with disabilities, children, women are often brought into the conversation as an afterthought..." Disability rights activist @gracejjerry says governments should create inclusive policies from inception, shifting away from a charitable perspective towards people with disabilities.

“Policies would have been written, transportation launched, and structures built before the thought of inclusion comes in.” @gracejjerry reminds us that inclusion should never be an afterthought. Real change begins when disability inclusion is considered from the very start of policies, systems, and structures. #BIP2026 #LeadingWithOurHumanity #Inclusion #Governance

Stakeholder Feedback from the 2026 FCT Area Council Election @gracejjerry, Executive Director of @inclusivefrnds, expressed disappointment with the 2026 FCT Area Election regarding INEC’s preparedness for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Providing a comparative analysis of the 2022 election, she noted that in the 2022 election, polling units were equipped with ballot guides, magnifying glasses, and other assistive materials for PWDs. However, in the 2026 election, these accommodations were largely absent. The only visible material in most of the polling units observed was the Form EC30E (PWD Incident/Observation Form), while other promised assistive materials were missing. Grace Jerry highlighted that @inecnigeria had previously assured the PWD community that these materials would be provided, making this lack of provision a regression from the previous election. #StateOfTheNation #SituationRoomNG #DemocracyWatch #NigeriaDecides2027
