1 in 6 experience significant disability, yet barriers prevent the full realisation of their rights. It's not enough to declare support; we need to act. I urge Governments to step up political & financial commitments to disability rights.

Violence & stigma deprive older people of their rights & block their vital contributions. We need their wisdom, creativity & experience. We need stronger commitment to develop an intl legal instrument that protects their rights & economies that invest in their care & dignity.

#CulturalDiversity is a strength, not a threat. To end today's interlocking crises, we must respect each other's views - learning from one another's unique experience & knowledge. Mutual understanding & solidarity are vital to a future where everyone's rights are protected.

No one should live in fear because of who they are or whom they love. Yet still today, #LGBTIQ + people continue to face the death penalty, arrests & violence & denial of healthcare, education & employment. I urge Govts: decriminalise, ban discrimination & save lives. #IDAHOBIT
