World Report on Disability

The first ever world report on disability, produced jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Bank, suggests that more than a billion people in the world today experience disability. The report, compiled from data from over 74 countries including New Zealand, gives an extensive picture of the lives of people with disabilities, their needs and unmet needs, and the barriers they face to participating fully in their societies. The report provides available evidence about what works to overcome barriers to health care, rehabilitation, education, employment and support services, and to create the environments which will enable people with disabilities to flourish. To find out more about the World report on disability and its recommendations, to download a copy or to order a hard copy, visit the WHO website.


New Zealand Dance and Disability Strategy

The New Zealand Dance and Disability Strategy – Would you like this dance?, launched on 4 December 2010 as part of the celebration for the International Day of Disabled People at Te Papa Tongarewa, is researched and written by Bronwyn Hayward, a mixed ability dancer. The strategy identifies areas, barriers and actions that a wide range of individuals and organisations can take part in to instigate change.
While the strategy is for dance, it provides a blueprint for how our environment can change in order that disabled people participate more fully in our society.
Dance Aotearoa New Zealand (DANZ) is a proud partner in this strategy and many thanks go to its funder, SPARC. For a copy click here. For further information contact Tania Kopytko, Executive Director, DANZ (T: 04 801 9885).
