With a particular focus on global humanitarian action, this thought-provoking session featured Disability Justice approaches that recognize historical trauma and center on underserved communities. We posed critical questions that call for a collective reimagining of international development, foreign policy, and humanitarian interventions. We welcome disaster/emergency management professionals worldwide, international development practitioners, and anyone else with an interest in disability-centered humanitarian assistance.
