Haibin is the founder and executive director of Easy Inclusion, a diversity and disability inclusion consultancy, and secretary general of the ILO Global Business and Disability Network China Chapter.

He brings to these roles a passion for creating equal access to employment, promoting vocational rehabilitation, and empowering public systems for persons with disabilities (PWDs).

In 2007, when Haibin was a student at the Johns Hopkins-Nanjing Center, he visited several of Heifer’s projects in Sichuan province. Seeing how Heifer integrated respect for human dignity into its poverty alleviation work was a turning point for him, and he decided to join the cause of supporting human dignity, especially for marginalized people.

Today much of his work involves applying the human rights standards in Chinese businesses. Haibin’s most recent initiative was the “Ten Cities Initiative,” a skills development campaign for students with disabilities through a collaboration with government, enterprises, universities, and social organizations. He also coordinated pilot projects to incorporate supported employment for PWDs into the five-year national disability development plans.

Through the Equity Initiative, Haibin expects to access additional sources of information on health equity and social inclusiveness and broaden his network, in ways that will strengthen his work on behalf of PWDs.
