[governance] People with disabilities

[ahmed eisa]

People with disability is an important part of the community..
Unfortunately they were not included in the MDGs and this why they have
high level meetings in the 68th UN general assembly and our organization
was part of it. in addition, most of the 17th suggested sustainable
development are speaking about equality.

By the time the MAG meetings starts in Geneva from the 1st to the 3rd
December, the world will be celebrating the international day of people
with disability (3rd December)
