Very glad to have sat down with my colleague, Gopal Mitra, to talk about disability inclusion on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (#IDPD).
"Disability inclusion starts with me, with you, with all of us."
Children with disabilities become even more vulnerable during emergencies. Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, I commit to the inclusion of children with disabilities in UNICEF’s humanitarian response.

I was glad to present at the #SDGs Pavilion AI and Innovation: Imagine Winning. AI can be a game changer for 1,3 billion children and adults with disabilities. But it will only happen if people with disabilities are included in the design of these technologies.
World leaders have the opportunity to create a better future for children.
With only 7 years left to achieve the #GlobalGoals, the time to act is now.

On this #WorldRefugeeDay2023, let's address the needs of refugee and asylum-seeking children. With a record number of 15.7 minions children affected we must provide support, opportunities, and a brighter future for every child, including those with disabilities. #LeaveNoOneBehind
A child is a child.
No matter why they left home.
No matter where they come from.
No matter where they are.
No matter how they got there.
Every child has the right to protection, care, support and services.
