IDA-IDDC statement following G7 ‘Declaration on girls’ education: recovering from COVID-19 and unlocking agenda 2030’

IDDC’s Inclusive Education Task Group and International Disability Alliance (IDA)  have developed a statement around global efforts to push forward the agenda of Girls’ education, more specifically the focus on inclusion and the need to prioritise marginalised girls such as girls with disabilities. At the G7 summit on 11-13^th July in London, leaders endorsed the G7 Foreign and Development Ministers ‘Declaration on girls’ education: recovering from COVID-19 and unlocking agenda 2030’. There will also be a focus on girls’ education at the upcoming  Global Education Summit in London 28-29^th July , and the momentum for inclusive education should follow through to the Global Disability Summit in 2022, so IDDC and IDA’s statement sets out recommendations  for  strong commitments that governments and international development actors should make in relation to the inclusion of all children with disabilities in education.
