Fostering Societal Growth: Exploring How Inclusion Drives the Development Agenda In 2025, Barbados enacted the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, which came just three months after the government introduced a seven-year policy aimed at addressing the needs of persons with disabilities. As contemporary development faces social, economic, political, and environmental challenges, it is essential for any society striving to achieve its goals to vigorously promote the inclusion of all its members.

One in five women around the world live with disability, yet barriers continue to affect their equitable participation in society as well as in political processes and decision making. Data from UN Women in 2017 show that women with disabilities are still significantly underrepresented in government decision making, in national organizations of persons with disabilities, and in national institutions or machinery for gender equality. In addition, few women lead organizations of persons with disabilities.
