We are global network of Independent Living Centers that support people with disabilities to live in the community regardless of the severity of their disabilities. This network was established in July 2017 at the Global IL Summit in Washington, DC and since, people with disabilities across borders are coming together to carry out activities and missions.

With CORONA VIRUS (COVID-19) is raging around the world, we are facing alarming crisis that people with disabilities are left behind and unable to receive crucial support that they need. UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD, adopted 2007) prohibits discrimination against persons with disabilities and reaffirms that all persons with all types of disabilities must enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms. Moreover, SDGs, adopted at UN in September,2015 pledged that NO ONE WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.

With these concept and principles in mind, we call attention of the world that the needs, self-determination and the dignity of persons with disabilities must be respected. To ensure that persons with disabilities around the world will receive necessary support without being discriminated and to live with their dignity as citizens are protected, we make following appeals to governments of all nations.
