*Beyond Tokenism — Moving From ‘Nothing About Us Without Us’ to ‘Nothing Without Us’* _"The slogan “Nothing About Us Without Us” has long been a cornerstone of the disability rights movement, asserting the right of persons with disabilities to participate in decisions directly affecting their lives. But as we navigate a rapidly changing world, grappling with climate crises, digital transformation, and evolving development priorities, there’s an urgent need to move beyond tokenism. That’s where “Nothing Without Us” steps in — a more assertive, effective and intersectional call to action that demands the full and meaningful inclusion of disabled people in all areas of life, not just those labelled "disability issues."_ _In our latest blog, "Beyond Tokenism – Moving From 'Nothing About Us Without Us' to 'Nothing Without Us'", we unpack this shift in narrative through a cultural lens, featuring a meme that humorously captures the deeper truth: disability inclusion must be universal, intentional, and cross-sectoral. From climate policies to SDG planning and cultural spaces to tech and tourism, no sphere is complete without the meaningful participation of the disability community._ Read how this evolution supports a more equitable, inclusive, and universally accessible world for all that 'leaves no one behind'.
