Greetings from Disability, Equity, Justice Working Group Civil 20 India!
 We are delighted to invite you to Bhopal for our upcoming consultation on ‘Women with Disabilities’ which we are organising in Bhopal on June 30, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM IST. It is being organised as part of the Disability, Equity, Justice Working Group’s efforts under Civil 20 India by Rising Flame, U.S. Consulate Mumbai, and Mariwala Health Initiative. Venue partner for the event is Arushi.
 Civil 20 is the official Engagement group of G20 and provides a platform for civil society organisations to bring their concerns and recommendations to the policy makers. Disability Equity Justice is one of the 15 working groups of the Civil 20 and is led by Rising Flame’s Founder and Executive Director, Ms Nidhi Ashok Goyal.
Women are estimated to account for up to three-quarters of people with disabilities in low and middle-income nations. Women and girls with disabilities often experience multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, low access to resources and opportunities, and face disproportionately high  barriers in their everyday lives. This consultation will create a platform to make recommendations for fostering participation and inclusion of women with disabilities in communities, to unpack the structural and societal violence faced by women and girls with disabilities and discuss enhancing access to learning and growth opportunities.
 
Date: June 30, 2023
