Subject: [crpd-forum] Launch of IDA & IDDC Accessibility Campaign

--For wide dissemination--
Dear Colleagues,

We're writing to inform you that the International Disability Alliance<http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/>, along with the International Disability and Development Consortium<https://www.iddcconsortium.net/>, have launched an Accessibility campaign<http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/acessibility-campaign> to call for public health information and communications around COVID19 to be fully accessible.

We have sent an open letter to the World Health Organisation<http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/sites/default/files/ida_iddc_letter-who-april_2020_002.pdf> and the United Nations<http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/sites/default/files/ida_iddc_letter-un-april_2020.pdf> to call for them to make their daily briefings and any supporting documents on COVID-19 fully accessible to persons with disabilities. We want them to set an example and show leadership to national governments and other actors in providing a fully accessible COVID-19 response by making all information that they disseminate fully accessible to persons with disabilities, keeping in line with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, General Comment No. 7 and the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy.

Please feel free to use the letters in your advocacy.

More information can be found on our webpage: http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/acessibility-campaign.

We are also publishing content on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/InternationalDisabilityAllianceIDA/> and Twitter<https://twitter.com/IDA_CRPD_Forum> and encourage you all to share and retweet the content, to amplify the messages!

Regards

The International Disability Alliance
