We invite you to join the 6th International Conference on Disability and Development
The Conference will be hosted by the International Centre for Evidence in Disability
Date: 14 - 17 March 2022
Time: 10am – 12pm GMT each day
Venue: Virtual
COVID-19 has dominated global discourse for the last 18 months as the pandemic impacts everyone, everywhere. There is growing evidence that people with disabilities and their families are particularly at risk during the pandemic, in terms of:
1. Increased risk of death and hospitalization;
2. Exclusion from the COVID-19 response actions (e.g. information, vaccination);
3. Adverse consequences of COVID-19 control activities (e.g. lockdown and social distancing);
4. Negative impacts on health (e.g. reduction in rehabilitation care).
The Conference seeks to bring together people to discuss and debate Disability and COVID-19. The focus will be on new research findings, methodologies and tools and implications of evidence for policy and practice. The focus will include both low-, middle- and high-income settings as well as humanitarian contexts.
Who should attend? All those with a strong interest in disability and COVID-19 are very welcome to attend, and this may include researchers, policy activists, decision- makers and practitioners. People with disabilities are particularly encouraged to submit abstracts and attend.
