“People with disabilities are more likely to live in poverty, and they experience higher rates of violence, neglect and abuse. The pandemic is intensifying these inequalities - and producing new threats. ”

The report contains, among other things, recommendations on how people with disabilities are included in the work to combat the pandemic that is taking place worldwide.
