Education and employment are fundamental human rights essential for full participation in society. For women, girls and gender-diverse people with disabilities, these rights are intrinsically linked to access to safe housing, adequate food and the ability to engage fully in our community. WWDA champions projects, research and advocacy efforts to dismantle systemic barriers and create a world where everyone can realise their potential.
