Deaf Cochlear Implant User advocates at the United Nations for inclusive cities for all

The United Nations Youth Forum gave Qais Khan, a board member of CIICA, the unique opportunity to advocate as a young deaf person with a CI – and to ensure that people listened to what is needed to make cities accessible and sustainable and safe for all. Thanks to Bowen Tang and International Federation of Hard Of Hearing Young People for the opportunity!

From delivering speeches and meeting young leaders from around the world, these images show Qais networking at United Nations Youth Forum.
