What’s Accessibility Got to Do with It? Why the “A” in DEIA Matters for Federal Agencies When President Biden signed Executive Order (EO) 14035: Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility in the Federal Workforce in June of 2021, it marked a significant departure from the way previous administrations had outlined their goals for inclusion of people with disabilities in the Federal workforce. EO 14035 is the first executive order to include accessibility in combination with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).

Please read every word of this!
Disabled, Neurodivergent, Accessibility Critic, Architectural Accessibility and Universal Design specialist
Final thoughts for National AccessAbility Awareness Week #NAAW: Talking and thinking about accessibility this week each year is good, but based on the past 38 years since it started, the understandable worry is that the corporations and institutions in particular continue to engage in events, but not out of real interest or concern, but just more PR and nodding. Performative concern and interest, not a serious commitment to stop discrimination or create the culture change that's clearly needed. 38 years of "awareness" is a long time for so little actual change. Three things to do to prove your commitment: 1. Publish this week what you heard and learned from #NAAW2024 2. For #NAAW2025 start that week by publishing what specific disability barriers you removed in 2024 & what your remediation training, schedule, capital asset management planning, etc. for the remaining barriers are. 3. And for your NAAW 2025 presentations, include lessons learned from your 2024 barrier removal projects and how those lessons will be used going forward. Learn from Ontario's AODA mistakes. Their biggest was blowing their 20 year deadline to have the province fully accessible for all disabled people. Now with 7 months left, it will instead be a race to see who fails the least. The Accessible Canada Act also set a 20 year deadline of which we have 16 years 7 months left. Failing to plan now, is planning to fail every day between now and then; discrimination every day until barriers are removed. Let's make the Accessible Canada Act instead a race for excellence and who can get to equity and inclusion first.

Today, is Red Dress Day, a day of remembrance for the staggering number of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit People in Canada. Across Turtle Island, the deep seeded roots of colonialism and racism run through society and shape social structures, disproportionately impacting Indigenous women, girls and Two-Spirit People. Indigenous women are four times more likely than non-Indigenous women to experience violence. The Native Women's Association of Canada has created Safe Passage, a community-driven, trauma-informed, and survivor centered initiative that tracks cases of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, transgender, gender diverse, and Two-Spirit people (MMIWG2S+), monitors ongoing safety concerns, provides resources and educational tools, and commemorates and honours MMIWG2S+.

EAA, AODA, ADA and WCAG...Oh my! But what about ADP? Learn about what the African Union and member states are doing to build disability inclusion following the UNCRPD (UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities)!
Did you know that the #African_Disability_Protocol (ADP) entered into force in June 2024? The ADP is a vital legal framework guiding African Union member states in developing disability laws and policies. Inspired by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (#CRPD), the ADP reflects a social and human rights approach to disability. Adopted in January 2018, the ADP officially entered into force on 5th June 2024, following its 15th ratification on 5th May 2024. This #milestone was achieved through dedicated advocacy by organisations of persons with disabilities across Africa. The ADP addresses inadequacies in the African human rights system, tackles deep-rooted issues of disability discrimination, and promotes community living and inclusive development. More info: https://lnkd.in/dgXUnH6t The photo shows Dr. Papa Mamadou Diop from the African Union (right) sharing announcement of the entry into force of the ADP with Dr Thomas Ongolo (Regional Advisor, GIZ Global Project Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities) at AU Headquarters in Addis Ababa.

We know that traditional homelessness services are set up to help men. So what does it mean to be a woman trying to access services that are not built for you? How do we justify creating services specifically for women, when they don’t appear in the data? How do we build services to work for women and end their homelessness for good? Join our session to share your thoughts and find out more…
If you’re a Commissioner interested or tasked with commissioning services for women - come and hear from women who’ve received those services and those who’ve commissioned some .
