"Business leadership on disability rights as human rights", 3rd African BHR Forum

What is it?

The session "Business leadership on disability rights as human rights", at the 3rd African Business and Human Rights Forum, on 8 October, highlighted the human rights generally, and the labour rights specifically, of persons with disabilities as a marginalised group, which can be and are already protected and promoted by leading companies in the African business community. Multinational enterprises (MNEs), regionally and nationally operating companies as well as Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Africa show a growing commitment to the inclusion of people with disabilities in their policies, programmes and workforces.
