<h2><span style="color:#003366">CSocD59 Event on "Overcoming the Digital Divide to Ensure Disability Inclusiveness"</span><o:p></o:p></h2>
<p>The aim of the event is to show how digital technologies can become a driving force for the inclusion of persons with disabilities. This event aims to initiate a conversation about how digital technologies can advance the rights of persons with disabilities
at national and international levels.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Distinguished speakers will share their own experience and expertise in describing the basic lack of access persons with disabilities face on a regular basis and discussing one modality of how to bridge the disability divide: digital technologies. Participants
will share examples of the success and challenges of different technologies that can be used to support different types of disabilities to enable persons with disabilities.<o:p></o:p></p>
