What is the Civil Society Forum?
The Civil Society Forum is organized to give space to the disability community to unify their voice, share experience and create partnerships ahead of the Summit. It leverages the occurrence of the Global Disability Summit to amplify the voice and participation of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, and to highlight current issues relevant to the global disability movement.
