We the 15

We’re people with disabilities. We’re 15% of the world.

We the 15 is a global campaign aiming to transform the lives of the 1.2 billion people globally who have a disability – 15% of the population.

Launching at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games #WeThe15 has the support of 20 leading global organisations from sport, human rights, policy, communications, business, arts, and entertainment. They are uniting to change attitudes and create more opportunities for persons with disabilities, as well as improve mobility and accessibility across the world.
