Social media toolkit:
#RatifyTheADP

1. Individual action

Sharing posts on social media will help us influence governments and decision-makers worldwide.

2. Strength in numbers

The more voices we have, the further our message will spread, increasing its power and its influence.

3. Global impact

When our message reaches key decision-makers, they can enact vital policies that can change lives.

We are proud to support the campaign to ratify the African Disability Protocol. Mali has already taken this step, now we want to see other African Governments commit to protect the rights of people with disabilities in Africa and #RatifyTheADP ?https://t.co/qTWRHIQ1yQ pic.twitter.com/oke3a4SOel

Accessibility tips

1. Use Twitter’s descriptive text functionality to describe images for people who are visually impaired.

2. Keep links in full rather than scrambling them with a link shortener, so users know what they are clicking on.

3. If using video content with audio, add subtitles so the video can be understood without sound.
