Thank you for four wonderful days at the Book Fair with important conversations, new meetings and lessons learned. 

MyRight's stand at Globala torget was well attended and we had many interesting and important conversations with visitors every day. Many took part in our popular quiz about disability, poverty and rights. 

We were able to spread a lot of material about the rights of people with disabilities in the world and hope that our visitors gained new insights and knowledge.

Together with Fridays For Future, MyRight highlighted the climate crisis from a functional rights perspective. We had panel discussions on both Friday at Globala torget's main stage and on Saturday at Klimatscenen. In the conversations, we talked about how to better include people with disabilities.
