Get Involved

Ways for organisations, allies and individuals to work with DPI and the global disability-rights movement.

For organisations of persons with disabilities

DPI’s members are national assemblies — a national organisation, federation or coalition of organisations of persons with disabilities. If your organisation would like to know about membership, contact DPI and we will put you in touch with the relevant regional block. Admission of new members is approved by the World Council.

Connect with your national assembly

In many countries there is already a DPI national assembly. The members directory lists them by country and region — the most direct way to take part is through the organisation in your own country.

For allies and partners

DPI works with UN bodies, regional organisations and disability alliances. Partnership enquiries are welcome via the contact page.

Stay informed

Follow DPI’s news, statements and editorials, and subscribe to occasional email updates. Every message includes a one-click unsubscribe link, and DPI never shares subscriber details.

DPI is a federation of organisations and does not run an individual membership or donation programme. Where you see a way to help, it is through the organisations of persons with disabilities that make up the movement.
