Equality & Disability Inclusion
Below you can find a list of global indicators relating to Equality & Disability Inclusion, a SCI Cross-Cutting Theme.
All Save the Children’s programmes and advocacy work should strive to be inclusive and equitably promote the rights of all girls and boys, including those with disabilities. Disability inclusion means applying a rights-based approach to ensure equal access and fulfillment of rights for children with disabilities alongside their peers without disabilities. As a rights-based organization, it is essential that Save the Children address barriers – both in our own programmes as well as in the broader society – that prevent children with disabilities and their families from using services and participating fully in society on an equal basis as others.
According to article 1 of the UNCRPD, adults and children with disabilities include those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairments which in interaction with various barriers may hinder their full and effective participation in society on an equal basis with others.
