Event Description
People with disabilities experience disproportionate harm in conflict zones, yet are routinely excluded from peacebuilding efforts. However, disability rights have proven to be a unifying issue across conflict lines — and organizations of persons with disabilities have been playing a growing role in recent years, advocating for inclusive peace and disability rights in conflict and post-conflict settings.
Join USIP for a conversation with Rep. Dina Titus (D-NV) and U.S. Special Advisor on International Disability Rights Sara Minkara that will explore their views on how the United States can lead a disability-inclusive response to conflict.
SPEAKERS
- Representative Dina Titus (D-NV) - U.S. Representative from Nevada
- Sara Minkara - Special Advisor on International Disability Rights, U.S. State Department
- Lise Grande, moderator President and CEO, U.S. Institute of Peace
