Purple Economy at UN COSP: Advancing the Rights-to-Systems Agenda
At the United Nations COSP, the Purple Economy dialogue moved disability inclusion from rights and intent into systems, markets, resilience and economic value while positioning persons with disabilities as customers, workers, entrepreneurs, innovators, civic participants and decision-makers.
What emerged
- CRPD implementation must now move beyond legal recognition into everyday systems.
- The framing of persons with disabilities as customers, entrepreneurs, innovators and market actors is a necessary narrative evolution.
- Purple Economy can connect rights, resilience, civic participation, digital inclusion, markets and institutional design into one larger framework.
