Inclusion and Right to Thrive
According to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), nearly 240 million children across the globe live with some form of disability whether from birth or acquired later in life.
Living with disability is defined by the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities as having a long-term physical, mental, intellectual or sensory impairment that, in interaction with the environment, hinders one’s participation in society on an equal basis with others.
UNICEF stated that children and adolescents’ disabilities lead to functional difficulties like seeing, walking, communicating, caring for oneself or making friends.
“But the extent to which children with disabilities are able to function, participate in society and lead fulfilling lives depends on the extent to which they are accommodated and included. No matter their story, every child has every right to thrive,” explained UNICEF. More: https://www.unicef.org/disabilities
