What a great and memorable few days at #13IDSS with peers discussing the innovation & equity that comes disability inclusive design and policy l.#TheFutureIsAccessible big thank you to @NUIGCDLP for ensuring safety of the event with clear COVID-19 protocol
The last day of #13IDSS is a moot court exercise. A mock CRPD Committee will hear arguments from complainants, respondents and 2 amicus curiae in the case of Future Rights Now v Republic of Future. Best of luck to all the teams!
Alice Wong @SFdirewolf mentioned many times in current session in #13IDSS, I felt so proud of Alice and disability communities in the US on response for pandemic.
"Just like every dollar that you give out in grant making has a disability lens, every dollar funded should have a COVID lens, and if you are not doing it, you are not doing it well or right" @RebeccaCokley #13IDSS
"We saw a rise in tele.mental health programming but that funding is not being secured for the really lack online security. Anything that is
linked through social media, those social media platforms get that data and so there is a real concern" RC #13IDSS
"We did not see any response for numbers of persons with disabilities who had contracted COVID in our jails, in our prisons, which we know are disproportionately filled by persons with disabilities. Nor did we see numbers for psychiatric and psychosocial institutions" RC #13IDSS
RC: We continue to see no response or data for congregated settings. There was some data on nursing homes but none for other institutions such as jails or mental health facilities. #13IDSS
We were hopeful with the new Administration but we continue to see no response around COVID for people in congregate settings. I want to be clear, data matters because you count what you care about. And so we saw some response around numbers for nursing homes. #13IDSS
"We knew disabled people were being denied access to COVID treatments. We continued to see what's happening in Canada right now around the forcing of do not resuscitate orders on disabled people" RC #13IDSS
RC: During the pandemic someone needed to take legal action to prevent their personal ventilator being removed to be given to someone 'more deserving'. #13IDSS
"showed that the disability community, we were not vulnerable. We are strong. And we will hold our leaders accountable for what we expect of them." #13IDSS
@SFdirewolf Candidates held twitter chat, questions about disability issues were raised at events. This monumental gain was as a result of the work of a coalition and uniting of disabled people and other allies among other factors. #13IDSS
@SFdirewolf She shares that how the pandemic became serious presidential candidates started writing disability policies. "We ended up having 15 democratic candidates writing disability policy platforms that had centred and listened to the disability community" #13IDSS
Rebecca starts by sharing that @SFdirewolf always talks about disabled people as oracles. We see what is going to happen before it does. Disabled people saw the issues of removal of infections control standards and protections in nursing homes before the pandemic #13IDSS
We are back after the coffee break at #13IDSS with @RebeccaCokley the disability rights programme officer @FordFoundation. Rebecca tells us she is wearing a blazer by Cathy Woods the first little person clothing designer.
DA: what we've learned: listen to grassroots voice, listen to marginalised voices within the disability community & intersectional groups, shift the power to participatory decision-making - have them at the table, build equal partnerships, document these practices #13IDSS
DA: we really relied on technology during covid-19, there were upsides, like getting access to govt officials whose offices were inaccessible to us before, but tech also needs to be made accessible for disabled people #13IDSS
DA: we learned how hard the Covid-19 pandemic was on disabled people's emotional wellbeing, we supported each other, we showed solidarity, organised learning exchanges, used messaging platforms to check in, and kept each other going #13IDSS
DA: in Indonesia last month repeal of sexual violence act passed and specific reference to the legal capacity of disabled women to testify in court was included, a success for the disabled women's movt who campaigned on this #13IDSS
DA: good practice e.g. where a village developed inclusive early warning system to ensure all disabled people in the village would have the same information & access as others. Monitoring situation of disabled women who experienced increased violence during lockdowns #13IDSS
