Globally, 1 in 6 people live with a disability. Yet too often they face barriers to healthcare, education and employment that limit both individual potential and shared progress.   This week at #UNGA80, we convened donors, advocates, and partners to spotlight not only the urgency of disability inclusion but the opportunity. With the power to fuel economic growth and transform lives, inclusion is a catalyst for healthier, more resilient communities for all.   Our thanks to the many participants and speakers who joined us at Goals House for this critical discussion and to explore pathways to a more inclusive future.
