Why Disability must be systematically embedded in all International Cooperation Efforts

The overarching message of the conference was that Irish International Cooperation must be inclusive and accessible to those with disabilities. Mainstreaming Disability in Development.

The exact location and timing of the birth was debated and it was even suggested that we could be past this figure already given the fact that some countries do not register births. What we do know is that this child was born into a world, which comes under continuous pressures to support its growing population. A world where poverty levels are high and millions of people go hungry on a daily basis. There is no disagreement that 7 billion people inhabiting our planet is without a doubt a staggering number. In June this year, the Word Report on Disability estimated that 1 billion people live with some form of disability and this figure is expected to grow as people grow older and develop age-related impairments.
