Inclusion and implementing the CRPD is not just something that happens in a day or just from one person. “Civil society’s role cannot be underestimated… I hope that the enthusiasm we’re building today will continue into our work after here” Gertrude Oforiwa Fefoame #COSP16CRPD #CSFCRPD #CRPD

An interesting thought provoked by Esma Gumberidze at the #CSFCRPD Social media is not going to be inclusive by default. We need to make a conscious effort to ensure it’s inclusive. Examples provided were screen readers not being able to access teams International Disability Alliance (IDA) #COSP16 #CRPD

“It is not by choice that people with disabilities are in institutions… People with disabilities are disproportionately found in institutions…. Invest in more inclusive solutions.” - Bhargavi Davar #CSFCRPD #CRPD #COSP16CRPD International Disability Alliance (IDA)

Provoking thought by Dominique Kantor #CSFCRPD - organisations are not inclusive in meetings, but when they think about adapting for people who don’t speak the language they become inclusive: 1. Information prior to meetings 2. Speak slowly 3. Time for response #COSP16CRPD

A common thread throughout many interventions #CSFCRPD when discussing gaps of the implemention of the CRPD: 1. Involving persons with psychosocial disabilities 2. Provision of assistive technology 3. Involving women and girls with disability #COSP16CRPD International Disability Alliance (IDA) #CRPD
