Monday, June 13, 2022

NEW YORK, June 13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Since the onset of renewed Russian aggression against Ukraine in February 2022, children and adults with disabilities have been facing compounded protection threats. These have directly increased risk of abandonment, violence, injury, and death – whether at home, in institutions, or in displacement.

Key Points: 
  • These have directly increased risk of abandonment, violence, injury, and death whether at home, in institutions, or in displacement.
  • In the context of the current emergency, they have been left behind, unable to access information and seek safety from war.
  • Women and girls with disabilities in Ukraine are also at disproportionate risk of sexual and gender-based violence during the conflict.
  • We need a full mobilization to support the forgotten Ukrainians in this unacceptable war," he said earlier, when addressing the same subject.

GENEVA, May 19, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "It has now been 7 years since we were in Sendai, Japan to discuss how to build a more resilient world while facing more disasters. In 2015, IDA, as an organization of persons with disabilities, was excited to see strong provisions on disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in the Sendai Framework. But packing for Bali to discuss progress in implementing what we had agreed in Sendai, we must admit that little has been achieved around the inclusion of persons with disabilities in disaster preparation, response, and recovery," said Vladimir Cuk, Executive Director of the International Disability Alliance (IDA).

Key Points: 
  • We will not achieve a sustainable and resilient society unless the human rights of all persons are protected, respected, and upheld.
  • In 2015, IDA, as an organization of persons with disabilities, was excited to see strong provisions on disability-inclusive Disaster Risk Reduction in the Sendai Framework.
  • The theme is " From Risk to Resilience: Towards Sustainable Development for All in a COVID-19 Transformed World ".
  • In this altered world, human rights are as relevant as ever in emergency response and Disaster Risk Reduction.
