Listening to regional and local experts is important.
That's why we consulted our members in countries affected by humanitarian crises to learn how to support girls with intellectual disabilities in emergencies.
We're working with IRC - International Rescue Committee to put this knowledge into action.

Inclusion International stands with autistic people everywhere using their voice to advocate for acceptance, support, and full inclusion on #WorldAutismAwarenessDay .
Inclusion is not just a result โ it is also a process, which requires people with disabilities being involved throughout.
A core value at Inclusion Ireland is 'voice'.Everyone has one,but some are ignored, dismissed, devalued.On #WorldAutismAwarenessDay ,we particularly show our allyship to those with an intellectual disability,those who are non-speaking and have had their communication rights denied
