Conference Background
The 3rd AIDRAN Biennial Conference
International Conference on Disability Rights (ICDR) “Advancing Disability Rights: Disability Inclusive Development Reimagined”
This year’s conference will be centred on the concept of Disability-Inclusive Development (DID). The objective is to provide a forum for discussion, reflection, and recommendations so that participants can help to end the marginalisation of people with disability from all aspects of development. As with previous AIDRAN conferences, research or other relevant work concerning, and from different parts of the world are strongly encouraged.
Disability advocates, researchers, civil society activists, policy makers, and artists are invited to participate in the AIDRAN 2023 Biennial Conference to share their experience and knowledge in an open and inclusive forum. This will be a mutual endeavour to identify concrete action to make people with disability visible in policymaking so that development can lead to a just and inclusive society. In addition to inviting participants to respond to DID and intersectionality, research or presentations that take an interdisciplinary approach are encouraged.
