Successes at the UK Parliament and the United Nations in June 2022
On 8 June 2022, the UK Coalition on NTDs hosted a reception at the House of Lords in the UK. The event was supported by the APPG on Malaria and NTDs.
The Leprosy Mission was grateful to be able to present three persons affected by leprosy at the event, including Rachna Kumari, who delivered a speech that silenced the room.

TLM hosted a side event at the UN's CRPD Conference on 17 June 2022. The event was entitled: Economic Empowerment for persons with disabilities and persons affected by leprosy: Challenges and Successes from projects across Asia and Africa.
We heard from experts in the field, both those who have personal experience of leprosy and those that do not. You can watch the side event above.
