#CRPDNow! More often than not overlooked, #migrantswithdisabilities not only face legal barriers, both in substantive law and procedural law, but they are also subject to hate crimes and hate speech based on disability and migrant status, ethnic background and nationality!

#DidYouKnow? Women are more likely than men to be blind or have a visual impairment, yet are less likely to receive treatment. Watch Dr Moira, who works with @Sightsavers, speak about the situation that women are still finding themselves in 👇 #InspireInclusion #IWD2024
Some women don't get the sight-restoring surgery they need. Instead, they stay at home. In some cases, they don't even know about the treatment they can receive. Ready to help make this a fact of the past? 👉 https://t.co/wLTuWKX8DM

Full legal equality for women is some 300 years away. This rate of change is frankly insulting. Half of humanity can’t wait centuries for their rights. We need equality now.
