Disability Justice
Building a more inclusive world
Amplifying the stories of people with disabilities
Every year on December 3, Doha Debates celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities — but we are also committed to spotlighting disability rights year round. We’re examining the social and physical barriers that society constructs around people with disabilities and learning more about what non-disabled people can do to break them down. Through our My Disability Justice series, we celebrate disability-rights advocates and bring their stories to the forefront. Whether you’re intimately familiar with disability and accessibility, or whether you’re just beginning to learn, we have content to deepen and enrich your experience — live shows, original videos and artwork, educational modules and more.
“I had to change the way I thought”: A letter from managing director Amjad Atallah
To mark 2020’s International Day of Persons with Disabilities, Doha Debates managing director Amjad Atallah reflected on what he’s learned about people with disabilities, why it’s important that they tell their own stories and what Doha Debates is doing to educate ourselves and others. Read his letter for a personal and poignant perspective on what it takes to make our world more inclusive.
