Today is the final day of Disability Pride Month, which recognizes the history, achievements, and struggles of people with disabilities. While we celebrate the progress made for people with disabilities, the fight continues to remove ongoing barriers - especially for refugees with disabilities who are disproportionately affected in their search for safety. We talked to Elham Youssefian, IRAP's Director of Disability Inclusion and Accessibility about the gaps in accessibility in the refugee space and how we can close them. #DisabilityPride
