CBM

On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December, CBM sends a clear message in front of the parliament building in Berlin, Germany: "International inclusion at a snail's pace? Not with us!" The snail, created by artist Ottmar Hoerl, symbolises that disability inclusion is progressing far too slowly.

To truly leave no one behind and reach the furthest behind first, we need to ensure that women and girls with disabilities have access to health, education, social, legal and economic services to finally break the silence.

Use CBM’s Inclusive Participation Toolbox to make your work more inclusive. Let us write a new history where inclusion is possible for all of us.

Excluding persons with disabilities from active social participation in their communities makes them stigmatised and invisible. Leave no one behind.

Together with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness, CBM calls on the public to take time to care for their eyes. CBM asks governments and institutions to take action to ensure that eye care is accessible, inclusive and affordable to everyone everywhere.

CBM has published our Inclusive Eye Health Annual Report 2022. CBM will continue to work with partners to ensure that people with visual impairments receive the eye health care they need so that they can achieve their full potential.
