We were instrumental in the shift from the welfare-based 1992 Disabled Persons Act to the rights-based National Disability Policy (2021). We continue to lobby for the full alignment of national laws with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD).
Political Participation
We lead programs that enfranchise persons with disabilities, ensuring they can exercise their right to vote and participate in governance through voter education and the auditing of polling stations for accessibility.
Social Model
We serve as the primary bridge between the disability community and national policy-makers. Our advocacy is grounded in the Social Model of Disability, which identifies that the primary "disabilities" are the barriers created by society rather than individual impairments.
