  6. Millennium Development Goals • Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger • Achieve universal primary education • Promote gender equality and empower women • Reduce child mortality • Improve maternal health • Combat HIV and AIDS, malaria and other diseases • Ensure environmental sustainability • Develop a global partnership for development

  7. MDGs won’t be met unless …… “Unless disabled people are brought into the development mainstream, it will be impossible to cut poverty in half by 2015 or to give every girl and boy the chance to achieve a primary education by the same date which are key among the Millennium Development Goals agreed to by more than 180 world leaders at the UN Millennium Summit in September 2000.“ Former World Bank President James D. Wolfensohn, Washington Post, December 3, 2002

  8. Disability and MDG 1 • Eradicate Hunger and Poverty • Disability and poverty are mutually reinforcing • Evidence shows that disabled people are disproportionate among the very poor. • 82% live below the poverty line • As many as 50% of disabilities are preventable and directly linked to poverty • Many people with disabilities are denied education or jobs • Disorders may require chronic health care which drain the scarce household resources.

  9. Disability and MDG 2 • Achieve Primary Universal Education • Very often children with disabilities are not recognized, get frustrated with school and drop out. • The majority of children who repeat classes or drop out of school have emotional or intellectual disabilities. • This in turn makes it impossible to achieve the goal of • Universal Primary Education unless the health aspects are taken into account. • 2 -10% of children with disabilities in developing countries receive an education.

  10. Disability and MDG 3 • Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women • Disabled women are doubly discriminated against • Disabled girls & women are more likely to be victims of sexual abuse.

  11. Disability and MDG 4 • Reduce Child Mortality • Developing world mortality for disabled children under five can be as high as 80% - a higher risk of dying because of: • medical conditions not treated early enough • lack of access to public services • intense stigma -- even within own homes • families are generally poorer

  12. Disability and MDG 5 • Improve Maternal Health • important for prevention of congenital or birth -related conditions • disabled women have less access to health info, placing them at greater risk of unwanted pregnancies and HIV/AIDS.

  13. Disability and MDG 6 • Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Other Diseases • AIDS and other contagious diseases can, in and of themselves, be disabling. • most significantly, efforts to halt these epidemics frequently do not encompass disabled people, putting disabled people at higher risk of contracting these diseases.

  14. Disability and MDG 7 • Ensure Environmental Sustainability • Environmental dangers can lead to the onset of many types of disabilities, e.g. rickets in Bangladesh • inaccessible environments prevent disabled people from taking part in economic and social activities.

  15. Disability and MDG 8 Develop a Global Partnership for Development A partnership implies inclusion, which means everyone.
