The Forum will provide a national platform to review the New Zealand government’s progress in protecting the rights of disabled people under the Disability Convention. The Forum will be held online on March 29th-30th and April 5th-6th. The Forum will examine issues raised in the 2019 and 2020 ‘Making Disability Rights Real’ reports published by the IMM. During eight short sessions, disabled people from the IMM will ask questions of the government.  The IMM will consider responses to a range of issues raised in the reports and important to disabled people. More detailed information about the Forum will be available closer to the dates of the event.
