        Invitation to attend roundtable on women and children with disabilities

        8th August 2012, 2 – 4 pm at Plan

        Dear All,



        There are two key UN events directly relating to disability being held 
in New York this September:



        ·       The Fifth Conference of States Parties to the CRPD. This year 
the theme is ‘Making the CRPD count for women and children’. 12-14 September

        ·       UNICEF Forum on the Global Partnership on Children with 
Disabilities. 14-15 September

        Please see programs to both events attached. 



        In preparation for these events, we are holding an informal roundtable 
on the 8th August 2012 at 2-4 pm (see details below). The purpose of the 
roundtable is to give you an opportunity to have a voice at these events if you 
are unable to attend, as well as assisting Christine and I to be better able to 
represent a collective of ANGOs.  



        We invite all those that are attending the events as well as anyone 
that would like to contribute to the discussion, particularly agencies that are 
child/gender/disability-focused. In preparation for the meeting if you could 
please consider: for your organisation, what are the key successes, 
opportunities and challenges in relation to children and women with 
disabilities. No presentations required as it will be an informal meetings. 
There is also a focus on the post-2015 agenda, so any contributions here are 
also appreciated. If you are unable to attend the roundtable, please feel free 
to email me with your contributions. 



        For those attending the events in NY, if you could please stay for an 
extra 30 mins until 4.30 to discuss coordination.



        Kind Regards

        Megan Tucker and Christine Walton
