A declaration to further inclusion from Andrew Parsons on #HumanRightsDay. "We need to build back better and create a society that is more inclusive, more envir...onmentally conscious, more sustainable and more caring of each other. "Going forward, we must share the understanding that society must be built BY ALL and FOR ALL. Diversity must not only be tolerated or respected. It must be valued and encouraged. "The IPC's role in transforming the world through sport has never been more needed or urgently required for the world's largest marginalised community."
