The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the “Collectif Autisme Maroc” have signed a partnership agreement aimed at strengthening the full participation of autistic people and promoting their rights.
This agreement, signed by the UNFPA Representative in Morocco Luis Mora and the President of the “Collectif Autisme Maroc” Soumia Amrani, aims mainly to eliminate the discrimination based on disability and gender, while emphasizing the promotion of access to information, education and quality health services, prevention and response to gender-based violence as well as the active participation of young people with disabilities, said, on Tuesday, the UNFPA in a statement.
Thus, the UN body and the “Collectif Autisme Maroc” undertake to work together in terms of capacity building, advocacy and mobilization on the issue of disability, said the same source, noting that the focus will be on autistic girls as well as families, through the digitization of access to information on sexual and reproductive health.
The United Nations Population Fund is an agency of the United Nations System which acts in several areas, where population and development, health, gender equality, the fight against violence against women and girls and support for young people are top priorities.
