We proudly support the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
Today marks the International Day of Persons with Disabilities. EFDN, EAFF, Fundación Real Betis, PSV Foundation, Club Brugge Foundation and the Romanian Football Federation want to ensure that any person no matter their background, culture, disability, race or gender are involved in the beautiful game of football. Through different programmes such as Nobody Offside and others we try to be as inclusive as possible.
The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy
When launching the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy in June 2019, the Secretary-General stated that the United Nations should lead by example and raise the Organization’s standards and performance on disability inclusion – across all pillars of work, from headquarters to the field.
The United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy provides the foundation for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion through all pillars of the work of the United Nations. Through the Strategy, the United Nations system reaffirms that the full and complete realization of the human rights of all persons with disabilities is an inalienable, integral and indivisible part of all human rights and fundamental freedoms.
In August 2023, the Secretary-General submitted his fourth report on steps taken by the UN system to implement the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy in 2022.
