United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesIFsbh

Dima Yared, Human Rights Officer at United Nations Office for Human Rights, Regional office for Europe, presented the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how to use it to advocate for and promote the rights to work of people with disabilities.
The UNCRPD was adopted in 2007 to promote and protect the rights of people with disabilities. It recognizes that an estimated 10% of the world's population lives with a disability, and existing human rights conventions did not adequately address their needs. The Convention outlines key definitions and principles of non-discrimination, participation, accessibility, equality of opportunity, and respect for dignity. It requires states to adopt appropriate laws and measures to eliminate discrimination, raise awareness of disability rights, and ensure environments are accessible to people with disabilities. Ultimately, the CRPD aims to transform societal views of disability and help build more inclusive societies through specific actions from its signatories.
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) is an international treaty that promotes and protects the rights of persons with disabilities. It confirms that persons with disabilities have the same human rights as others. The Convention requires countries to protect these rights through provisions on accessibility, education, employment, and independent living. It represents a shift from viewing persons with disabilities as objects of charity to recognizing them as full subjects with human rights.
The document provides an overview of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and its Optional Protocol. It discusses the timeline of the convention, its purpose of promoting equality for persons with disabilities, and the general principles of non-discrimination, accessibility, participation, and respect for dignity. It also outlines the rights protected in the convention relating to education, health, employment and more.
The document discusses the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). It provides background on other UN human rights conventions and explains why the CRC was drafted. The CRC was adopted in 1989 and has been ratified by 192 countries. It establishes civil, political, economic, social, cultural rights for children. The CRC takes a holistic approach and is considered the most comprehensive human rights instrument for children.
The document summarizes key aspects of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, including its timeline of adoption and entry into force, purpose of promoting equal rights and participation of persons with disabilities, and general principles of non-discrimination, accessibility, and respect for dignity. It also outlines the Convention's definitions, general obligations of states parties, and rights defined for persons with disabilities across various areas such as education, health, employment and social participation.
This document discusses the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the Philippines' 2nd Human Rights Plan (PHRP II) as it relates to persons with disabilities. It provides context on the Philippines' ratification of the CRPD and obligations under the treaty. It then outlines 4 thematic objectives for the CRPD chapter in the PHRP II: 1) harmonizing laws and policies with the CRPD, 2) mainstreaming accessibility in infrastructure, 3) popularizing the CRPD and PHRP II, and 4) sensitizing communities to accept persons with disabilities. Baseline data and indicators are presented for monitoring progress under each thematic objective.

This presentation on AFAO's recent work with Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) communities was given by Michael Frommer at the SiREN Symposium in Perth, June 2016.
The document outlines a four-phase activity to develop culturally appropriate online health resources for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities as well as several CALD populations in Australia. The activity will be overseen by ASHM and involves auditing existing resources, consulting with communities, developing new resources, distributing and promoting them, and evaluating their uptake. Key steps include establishing advisory committees, reviewing current resources, holding workshops to prioritize new materials, subcontracting organizations to create resources, and measuring the impact through surveys and web analytics. The goal is to prevent blood-borne viruses and sexually transmitted infections among these at-risk communities through improved health education.
The document discusses changes to the structure and priorities of AFAO for 2016/17. Due to funding changes, AFAO's international program will expand while its domestic program shrinks. Some staff will leave and the organization will restructure accordingly. Key priorities will include leadership and communications, advocacy, coordination, policy, capacity building, and international work. The organization will need to work smarter with its reduced capacity by collaborating with other community organizations.

This document provides a summary of a directory of health promotion programs and resources for HIV and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities. The directory aims to support organizations working with CALD communities on HIV-related issues. It includes summaries of program activities, objectives, outcomes, evaluation details, downloads, and contact information for each listing. The feedback on the directory was positive, noting it is a valuable resource for research and ideas. Recommendations include organizations using the resource, updating it regularly, and holding a forum to further build capacity and identify programs for national support.

This document discusses using systems approaches to better understand peer-based programs for HIV and HCV. It summarizes work done with various organizations representing people who use drugs, gay men, people living with HIV, sex workers, and others. Systems approaches were used to develop more sophisticated theories of how peer-based programs work and influence communities. System dynamics maps showed how interventions engage with communities. Key functions and draft indicators were identified to demonstrate influence and help programs evaluate their work and influence on communities and policies. The document provides an overview of the Understanding What Works & Why (W3) project which aims to help answer questions about program influence and effectiveness using systems approaches.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
