DISABILITY IS EVERYONE’S ISSUE.
With 15% of the world’s population,
including in humanitarian contexts…
A focus on health and rehabilitation:
Persons with disabilities are more likely to have health needs……but are less likely to access health services and have these needs met. (WRD 2011)
AT THE SAME TIME
Success in health is seeing a reduction in global deaths……and a rise in disability. (GBD 2010)
Twin disparities:
