Inclusive networks are a powerful and important mechanism for disabled communities and groups worldwide. Networks often act as a focus point for advocacy and action, providing shared learning, and creating opportunities and collective impact for members and groups.
But what does it take to create a truly inclusive network that supports and platforms its disabled members? Why are these networks important? What can they offer?
