Today, the @G7 launched the "Solfagnagno Charter" on disability inclusion. We welcome its adoption and the involvement of the disability movement during its drafting . However, we believe that it should have presented more concrete actions. Read: edf-feph.org/g7s-solfagnano-…

A lack of accessibility awareness at work can hold back employees with disabilities. But small changes can make a big difference! In our video funded by @Googleorg, learn about Dirk and Antonia's stories and how to create a more inclusive workplace: youtu.be/qMlg9e42-m4

It is unbelievable that Equality has been downgraded from its current position as a standalone portfolio. We urgently ask members of the European Parliament to lead the charge in restoring the position of Commissioner for Equality.

Despite existing laws, EU transport systems are still inaccessible to many passengers with disabilities: buff.ly/3Gl5i31 We need stronger legislation to prevent boarding denial, protect mobility equipment, ensure accessible info & assistance. We need an #AccessibleEU!
