As part of International Women’s Week, the Center for Gender and Development Studies, with generous support from the EU, is hosting a small colloquium about disability, diversity, and inclusion. Local and international disabled and nondisabled invited participants will explore issues of full participation and accessibility in the Global South. In the first of two meetings (March 3), we will form working groups. The working groups will prepare presentations, which they will finalize and present at the following meeting, one week later (March 10). Portions of the presentations will be offered at the World Disability and Rehabilitation Professionals Conference in November 2021. A summary report of the colloquium will be available upon request for anyone interested.
To request a copy of the proceedings, or to express interest in being involved at an expanded session in March 2022, please contact the event’s facilitators:

One is CGDS: the C, D, and S are in dark blue, and the G, in gold, incorporates an arrow. The other logo is the EU flag, with twelve gold stars in a circle against a dark blue rectangle.
