How do we support girls with #disabilities to access education & stay in schools? Studies show girls w disabilities are more at risk to disruption in schooling than their male peers. @IslayMactaggart explores recommendations to address contextual barriers bit.ly/3z7Vhko

@DrMarkCarew Thanks Mark that means a lot and am really glad that you thought it was a useful contribution to the literature, we hope it will support interpretation of the nuances of disability data by data users and collectors!

People with disabilities account for around 15% of the 🌍’s population, yet only 1 in 10 have access to the assistive technology they need. Let's change this to allow equal opportunities for all. @Paralympics are a powerful demonstration of why disabilities shouldn’t be barriers.
