Summary:

This publication by the United Nations reviews the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and emphasizes the need to integrate disability issues into the MDG efforts. It highlights the gap in the MDGs that fails to address the needs of the estimated 1 billion people worldwide living with disabilities. The book discusses the strong correlation between disability and poverty, emphasizing that persons with disabilities often lack equitable access to resources such as education, employment, health care, and social and legal support systems. The publication aims to guide policymakers on how to include disability issues in MDG policies and programs to ensure that these goals are met comprehensively. Generated by AI.
