15% of the global population lives with some type of disabilities, often facing various barriers to inclusion. In some countries, more than 50% of people living with disabilities have experienced discrimination. There are 240 million children with disabilities in the world, and a staggering 90% of children with disabilities in developing nations are unable to access education. 80% of individuals with disabilities face unemployment in multiple countries, primarily due to the pervasive influence of stigma and discrimination. Women with disabilities are twice as likely to suffer physical violence as adults (between 58% and 75%) than the average female population (35%).

UNESCO is committed to advancing the rights of persons with disabilities through a multifaceted approach across its fields of competence in education, the sciences, culture, and communication. To contribute to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS), aimed at achieving transformative progress in disability inclusion, UNESCO led multilateral efforts through the United Nations Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNPRPD), inter alia. Actions have been implemented to advance the rights of women and girls with disabilities, inclusive education, fighting stigma and discrimination, inclusive cities and data management, access to information and supportive ICTs, effective participation of persons with disabilities, and disability governance and accountability.
