Disability rights: UN chief calls for amplified leadership roles to shape more inclusive future

Marking the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on Tuesday, UN Secretary General António Guterres emphasised the crucial need to increase the leadership of persons with disabilities in addressing global challenges, as essential to shaping technological advances and policy decisions.

“This year’s International Day…reminds us that we need the leadership of persons with disabilities more than ever,” Guterres said in his message, emphasising their crucial role as change makers and leaders in communities worldwide.

The day comes as countries recently adopted the Pact for the Future, committing to addressing long-standing inequalities faced by more than one billion persons with disabilities globally.
