Disability Inclusion in Peacebuilding [Video]

A USIP Congressional Newsmaker Series with Representative Dina Titus (D-NV) and Special Advisor on International Disability Rights Sara Minkara

People with disabilities experience disproportionate harm in conflict zones, yet are routinely excluded from peacebuilding efforts. However, disability rights have proven to be a unifying issue across conflict lines — and organizations of persons with disabilities have been playing a growing role in recent years, advocating for inclusive peace and disability rights in conflict and post-conflict settings.

Join USIP for a conversation with Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and U.S. Special Advisor on International Disability Rights Sara Minkara that will explore their views on how the United States can lead a disability-inclusive response to conflict.

Take part in the conversation on social media using the hashtag #USIPNewsmaker.

The United States Institute of Peace is a national, nonpartisan, independent institute, founded by Congress and dedicated to the proposition that a world without violent conflict is possible, practical and essential for U.S. and global security. In conflict zones abroad, the Institute works with local partners to prevent, mitigate, and resolve violent conflict. To reduce future crises and the need for costly interventions, USIP works with governments and civil societies to build local capacities to manage conflict peacefully. The Institute pursues its mission by linking research, policy, training, analysis and direct action to support those who are working to build a more peaceful, inclusive world.
