As a population with increasing vulnerabilities, they are disproportionally affected by stigma, discrimination and social marginalization, within their social environment and in society at large. The paucity of knowledge and expertise on rare diseases and the lack of awareness of the challenges faced by PLWRD mean that they are psychologically, socially, culturally and economically vulnerable. </div><div><br></div><div>There are a number of synergies between the rare disease community’s needs and goals, and those of the UN 2030 Agenda and its <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Sustainable Development Goals</a> , mainly the following ones: </div><div><ul><li>Challenges affect the whole family and cause overall increased isolation and impoverishment (SDG 1); </li><li>PLWRD lack access to appropriate diagnosis and lifelong care and social support (SDG 3); </li><li>PLWRD face challenges in accessing education at all stages of their life due to inaccessibility of facilities and non-adapted teaching methods (SDG 4); </li><li>Women living with a rare disease face more difficulties in accessing care and, when a member of the family lives with a rare disease, the primary unpaid care role is most often assumed by women (SDG 5); </li><li>PLWRD and their families face challenges in access, retention and return to employment (SDG 8); </li><li>The disproportionate level of vulnerabilities means PLWRD face stigma, discrimination and lack of opportunities for inclusion in society (SDG 10). </li></ul></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www.rarediseasesinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Concept-Note-UNGA-Resolution-on-PLWRD-FIINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">https://www.rarediseasesinternational.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Concept-Note-UNGA-Resolution-on-PLWRD-FIINAL.pdf</a></div></div><div><br><div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Photo of two young zebras peeking above the back of a third zebra, all with different black and white stripe patterns.
