Slide 2: Blue bubble at top with text saying The importance of responding to a human rights crisis. There is an illustration of firefighters with red fire truck, responding an apartment building fire. Text underneath says:
Think (bolded) about how you respond to a fire? You need to call firefighters, find fire hoses and make sure everyone gets away safely.
The same concept applies to a human rights crisis (bolded), it is like a large fire – you can’t extinguish it unless you have a strong team; many members in the community to support each other. Otherwise it will get out of control.
We are all human, we have the right to live freely in a safe environment.
Slide 3: Text at top says “Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) Article 9: Accessibility. Purple box with text saying “2.
