Thank you @giftedPWDcentre for trusting me to moderate the session. The I3 project has been such an eye opener and it is wholesome to see youths with disabilities earn from smart gardening thanks to your training and support. #GCCVoices
Plenary session: āHow do we restore our ecosystem when we are cutting down treesā? āDoes the county gov. prioritize the underserved communities in the informal settlementsā? āHow can stakeholders collaborate to minimize the impact of climate change on persons with disabilitiesā?

Women and girls with disabilities face higher risks of GBV ā yet remain unheard. We need accessible, survivor-centred GBV services that protect every girl and woman with dignity. #McCaterina #DisabilityAdvocate #EndGBV #SRHRAndSafety

Access to #SRHR Info Saves Lives Many PWDs youths lack access to accessible SRHR info. Braille, sign language interpretation, easy-to-read formats, & visual guides are essential, not optional. When information becomes accessible, empowerment becomes possible #YouthAccess2SRHRKe
