At Sightsavers, we want to find new ways to make sure that disability is given more attention within research.
On Thursday 20 February we hosted our first live Twitter chat, where we discussed the current lack of evidence about disability in low and middle income countries, and explored what can be done to ensure that disability is more prominent on the global research agenda.
What if I couldn’t make it?
If you weren’t able to tune in live, we’ve put together a highlights reel with key moments from the discussion.
