"Crisis, Conflict and Disability: Ensuring Equality"

The International Shafallah Forum, conceived by Her Highness Sheikha Moza bint Nasser as the think tank and action arm of the Shafallah Center for Children with Special Needs, has since 2006 become a global rallying point for disability advocates and policymakers. This year’s forum gathered more than a dozen First Spouses from Asia, Africa, and Europe as well as leading emergency relief officials, and representatives of local, regional and global disability organizations. Among the Forum’s more than 250 delegates and partner organizations drawn from 50-plus countries are the United Nations High Commission for Refugees, the Women’s Refugee Commission, the Refugee Law Project of Uganda, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency.
