More than 1,000 people from 66 nations gathered in Lusaka for the Digital Rights and Inclusion Forum. The three-day event brings together experts from the human rights, tech, and policy fields across Africa and beyond. Zambian Technology Minister Felix Mutati told the crowd that everyone deserves access to digital tools. He stressed that people with disabilities need equal internet access in our digital age.

Zimbabwe group Signs of Hope Trust joined the activities, with director Samantha Sibanda leading talks about disability digital barriers. She noted that major companies like Google and Meta attended alongside regional groups such as MISA Zimbabwe. The forum tackles problems like online gender violence, digital security, and ways to help left-behind communities connect digitally. Sibanda said her team works on these issues daily in Zimbabwe and wants to share what works with others.

The Zimbabwe organization advocates for fair digital access for disabled people. They believe equal information access helps everyone participate fully in society. Their partnerships across Zimbabwe aim to improve digital spaces for all users.
