Support Fund for Disability Inclusion Events
BackgroundAt UNOG, accessibility is not just a requirement, but a reflection of the UN's core values of dignity, equality, and inclusion. Events like World Braille Day and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities help raise awareness, challenge stigma, and celebrate diverse voices, which need to remain impactful, inclusive, and accessible to all.
ScopeBy establishing a dedicated support fund, the project will strengthen disability inclusion at UNOG, covering costs for guest speakers, workshops, accessible venues, equipment, and materials in accessible formats. Its goal is to ensure that every event is fully inclusive, engaging, and reflects the UN’s commitment to diversity, equity, and participation for all.
Impact
Greater participation of persons with disabilities by removing barriers will be fostered.
The fund will raise awareness among UN staff and visitors, stressing the implementation of inclusive practices across the organization.
Estimated Cost
Costs vary by event (CHF 500 – CHF 5000) and are determined with the donor's vision and contribution.
