US Foreign Policy and Funding Cuts:

A Response from the Disability Community


Our goals:  Disability Rights International (DRI) and the United States International Council on Disabilities (USICD) are disability groups based in the United States committed to the protection and full inclusion of people with disabilities worldwide. 

Our global disability rights commitment: To advance global peace,  prosperity, and the well-being of the United States and others, the United States government should be a fully engaged partner in the international community, respecting and advancing democracy, human rights and the full inclusion of people with disabilities.

This survey:  To lay the groundwork for our advocacy, we need the facts. We are documenting the impact on people with disabilities of recent developments in US foreign policy and cutoffs in US funds. We will use this data to seek continued US funding and support for disability rights around the world.
