This step under India’s presidency is the first ever in the G20 processes. The Civil20 website highlights that the DEJ working group will promote disability equity and disability inclusion within the G20 leaders’ commitments. “Our emphasis is to bring forward the voices of persons with disabilities, 1.3 billion people or 16% of the global population—the majority of whom live in G20 countries. The population of people living with disabilities, moreover, is rising, due to wars, conflicts, disasters, and ageing,” it states. The DEJ Working Group aims to bring together experiences and expertise of disabled and non-disabled civil society to advance a practical vision of economic development that is accessible, just, sustainable and inclusive. The working group says it is imperative for the G20 countries to tackle barriers rooted in stigma and systemic inaccessibility. “Research shows that lack of meaningful participation and inclusion among persons with disabilities costs countries up to 7% of their GDP. Women with disabilities and others facing multiple forms of discrimination are at greater risk of violence and exclusion that undermines their meaningful participation in economic, social, and political arenas,” it says.
