Today, December 3, we join the global community in observing the International Day of Persons with Disabilities ♿
At the U.S. Embassy in Tashkent, we are dedicated to promoting inclusivity and ensuring that the voices of persons with disabilities are heard. This year, we engaged in several initiatives to advance these goals:
🔹Visit of Special Advisor: In September, Special Advisor on International Disability Rights Sara Minkara visited Uzbekistan to meet with government officials, civil society, and the media, exploring opportunities to develop disability-inclusive policies and programming.
🔹 Collaboration with Experts: We collaborated with disability rights advocates Helena Berger and Victor Calise, who worked with activists, media, and bloggers to spotlight accessibility and inclusion.
🔹 International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP): We facilitated the participation of activists and bloggers in the IVLP, enabling them to exchange ideas and strategies on disability rights with counterparts in the United States.
These efforts are part of our ongoing commitment to fostering a more inclusive society. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all partners and individuals who share this vision and work alongside us to make it a reality ❤️
🤝 Together, we can create a world where every individual is empowered and included
