Crisis response is a set of humanitarian actions taken to support those affected by disaster or conflict. The UN CRPD embeds crisis response through several key articles and principles--specifically Article 11--ensuring that the rights and needs of persons with disabilities are protected before, during, and after crises. During the session, we will highlight innovations that ensure that persons with disabilities, with the support from AT, are able to overcome these unforeseen, extreme situations.
