Addressing the inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian actions: A European perspective

The European Disability Forum (EDF), CBM International and Handicap International are holding a roundtable discussion aiming to advance on commitments to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Charter on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action.

The event is organised as a follow-up to other activities undertaken at national, regional and international level, to discuss the way forward at political and operational level on inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian action. Representatives of organisations of persons with disabilities and NGOs will also share their experience in emergency contexts. Interventions from the floor are warmly welcomed during the Q&A session.

The event is organised in the context of the European Disability and Development Week (EDDW).
