Newsletter: April 2015

 
 
 

Welcome to the April edition of the Inclusion International newsletter.  In this edition you can read about Inclusion International's Voice at the General Day of Discussion on Article 24; our efforts to have the United Nations Human Rights Council and UNESCO recognize the issues affecting people with intellectual disabilities as well as our efforts to broaden our global network through the membership review.  In Focus this month features our Kenyan member organization and in the news hub our members share their stories about work and events in their countries.

We hope you will join us at one of our upcoming regional events co-hosted by
our regional and national members.  These events provide opportunities for
members to share information and experiences about their work in promoting
inclusion.

Visit our website to share your own stories and events; to access our global
reports
