In June, WWDA CEO Sophie Cusworth attended the 18th Session of COSP – the UN Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Sophie represented WWDA and our community, highlighting critical issues affecting women, girls and gender-diverse people with disabilities. With the conference theme of ‘Enhancing public awareness of the rights and contributions of persons with disabilities for social development’, Sophie attended a number of round tables and briefings, and heard from many speakers across a range of topics.
Sophie also delivered an intervention in the General Debate, calling on governments to include women, girls and gender diverse people with disabilities when putting the Convention into action.
