I am grieving the monumental loss of @judithheumann. Words fall short to describe this incredible fighter and powerful spirit who led changes that will impact generations to come. She was equally kind and generous as a person. Rest in peace #Judy your work continues to give light

As per Census 2011, over 2% of India's population live with one form disability or another. This is opening a huge opportunity for assistive tech with social impact startups lining up to dive into this space. @shraddhatiwari_ reports

Gaps in #data make it impossible to allocate and scale up resources to empower persons with disabilities. @WorldBank and @Microsoft are working towards an equitable solution.

@McNhlapo and @jennylayfluffy explain: https://t.co/wO2wq0oaQn
