stories like that of the Jose sisters in Mozambique are common realities for #girlswithdisabilities in emergencies. Congrats to @UNICEF_Moz and partners for ensuring inclusive emergency response and recovery through the provision of #AssistiveDevices and rehab services.

Meet the José sisters.

They lost their home twice - first due to conflict and then a cyclone.

Did you know children who are deaf are part of the 70M+ people who are deaf globally—80% of whom live in developing countries?
Their right to sign language is essential for accessing all services.

No child should be prevented from going to school because they can’t get the assistive technology they need.

In Rwanda, UNICEF and partners provide technology to help improve ear and hearing care for children and adolescents with impairments. #WorldATDay
