According to the World Report on Disability, approximately one billion people in the world are living with a disability, with at least 1 in 10 being children and 80% living in developing countries. 

Children with disabilities are faced with discrimination in several ways and are often excluded in many societal events or programs. Discrimination against children with disabilities often leads to reduced access to basic social services, and general lack of recognition. Addressing discrimination and promoting inclusion is an issue of concern in all sectors, and can be accomplished through information and advocacy, strengthening policy and facilitating access to services.
