Dear friends, Greetings from <https://risingflame.org/project/disability-equity-justice/> Disability, Equity, Justice Working Group Civil 20 India!
We are writing to invite you to a consultation on 'Women with Disabilities' which we are organising in Mumbai on June 22, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM IST. It is being organised as part of the Disability Equity Justice working group's efforts under Civil 20 India by Rising Flame, US Consulate Mumbai, and Mariwala Health Initiative. Civil 20 is the official Engagement group of G20 and provides a platform for civil society organisations to bring their concerns and recommendations to the policy makers. Disability Equity Justice is one of the 15 working groups of the Civil 20 and is led by Rising Flame's founder and Executive Director, Ms Nidhi Ashok Goyal. The theme for the policy consultation is 'Inclusive Societies for Women with Disabilities'. Women are estimated to account for up to three-quarters of people with disabilities in low and middle-income nations. Women and girls with disabilities often experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, low access to resources and opportunities, and face disproportionately high barriers in their everyday lives. This consultation will create a platform to make recommendations for fostering participation and inclusion of women with disabilities in communities, to unpack the structural and societal violence faced by women and girls with disabilities and discuss on enhancing access to learning and growth opportunities. Date: June 22, 2023 Time: 2pm to 5 pm Location: Bandra East, Mumbai (no online) Please fill the form below to attend in person. <https://bit.ly/InclusiveC20_WWD> https://bit.ly/InclusiveC20_WWD Once you register you will receive a confirmation email with more details of the venue and agenda.
