Background |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
There are over 1 billion persons with disabilities living in the world today. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and World Bank’s World Report on Disability (2011), the female disability prevalence rate worldwide is 19.2 percent. In Malaysia, there were 453,258 registered Persons with Disabilities (PWD) at the Department of Social Welfare in 2017 with 35.2 percent being physically challenged persons, 34.8 percent with learning disabilities and the remaining were visually and speech impaired persons.
PWDs are often underreported and the most vulnerable during a crisis, disaster and/or emergencies. Crisis situations often create a new group of persons with disabilities who require services, which places an even greater demand on the limited services available.
In June 2019, the United Nations Secretary-General launched the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS) to make the United Nations (UN) an inclusive organization for all. The Strategy establishes the foundation for systemic and sustainable change on disability inclusion across all three pillars of the UN. The Strategy plays a key role in enabling the UN system to support Member States in their achievement of the 2030 Agenda, as well as a range of other development and humanitarian commitments.
