Understanding the communalities and differences persons with disabilities may encounter when it comes to employment in different countries and learning how entities in different world regions support them is vital in ensuring persons with disabilities are included in the world of work. This session will feature speakers to share the situation in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Arab States, and Latin America.

International Sign interpretation and live captioning in English, French, Spanish and Arabic are provided.
