The European Disability Forum, CERMI and CERMI Women’s Foundation organise an online conference on women and girls with disabilities. The #OurFuture Conference will feed into the Conference on the Future of Europe and EDF’s work on the rights of women and girls with disabilities in light of the 25th year anniversary of our organisations.
There are over 60 million of women and girls with disabilities in Europe. More than often, women and girls with disabilities are not included in public debates. Their concerns and needs are neither heard nor addressed in the development of laws, policies and initiatives at international, European and national level.
This conference will offer a platform to organisations of persons with disabilities, women with disabilities and women providing support to relatives with disabilities to interact with policy-makers, and raise their concerns to contribute to the future of Europe. Participants are encouraged to send their questions to policy makers in advance, and will also have the opportunity to raise them during the event.
The Conference on the Future of Europe is a citizen-led series of debates and discussions that will enable people from across Europe to share their ideas and help shape our common future.
The conference will be in English and Spanish.
International sign interpretation and live captioning in English and automatic captioning in other languages will also be provided.
Participants must indicate their request for automatic captioning in language of their choice when filling the registration form.
Questions to policy-makers and request for intervention in the second panel on “Reflecting on the inclusion of women and girls with disabilities in the European movement and #OurFuture” can be sent in advance in the registration form or by e-mail to marine.uldry@edf-feph.org.
