It’s time to advance the rights of people with disabilities in society through infiltration. To achieve equitable opportunities through inclusion. We see international exchange or international development as a tool for improving the lives of people with disabilities globally.
We are changing how people with and without disabilities think about disability in countries around the world. We are building future advocates, including the need of women to be elevated within in the international disability rights movement.
