In opening the #13IDSS we paid tribute to Honorary Professor Gábor Gombos; a colleague and friend to whom we all owe so much. A giant of disability rights, he will be particularly missed this week. twitter.com/eilionoirflynn…

Great discussion from Rahma Mustafa @umhiba1 on the unique challenges #Disabled #refugees face in relation to ID, registration, access to WASH, access to food and so much more. For example #DisabledChildren are not registered at birth #13IDSS pic.twitter.com/04azJDOypT

We are back from coffee with @TheresiaDegener, who is outlining the legal framework under UN CRPD #13IDSS

Dr Clíona de Bhailís @ClionadeBhailis

Theresia now highlights the global failure to provide accessible information at the beginning of the pandemic. Communication was vital and masks also restricted this for those who need to lip read. Transparent options not readily available #13IDSS

Centre for Disability Law and Policy @CDLPGalway

TD highlights that over the course of the pandemic institutions became death traps; with much higher numbers of fatalities than the general population #13IDSS

The Chronic Campaigner @chroniccampaign

Shocking statistics from Theresia Degener's moving talk on how covid has affected #DisabledPeople in Europe. In the UK 60% of all deaths in the first wave were disabled people & people with learning difficulties had a 6 times higher death rate! #13IDSS #DisabilityTwitter #UNCRPD pic.twitter.com/3lABaJ6c7n

We need to apply the build back better principle with all the rights of the CRPD in mind - @TheresiaDegener #13IDSS

The Chronic Campaigner @chroniccampaign

Consistenly at #13IDSS we are reminded how important it is that #DisabledPeople are at the forefront of the creation & implementation of policies that affect us. As Theresia Degener says to member states: "You need to sit down with us. You need to involve us" #UNCRPD #Disability pic.twitter.com/JTbzQvFGxe

As Theresia Degener states, There was a systemic structural #HumanRights violation of #DisabledPeople globally as a result of #covid. #DisabledPeople's rights were ignored and dropped. Our rights to health and education dropped! We must learn from this #13IDSS #DisabilityTwitter
