Inclusion of Persons with disability
Persons with disability are an invisible minority of the country, which has been neglected since ages and even today. The prevalence rate of moderate and severe disabilities is estimated as 4.5 per cent, or one in twenty people in developing countries, but the ratio among people suffering poverty rises to one in six. This implies a strong relation between disability and social issues including poverty as a cause and a consequence in developing countries. Disability results in social, economical and political exclusion, trapping people with disability in an endless cycle of poverty and disability.
A person with disability has the same need as the non-disabled and can develop like others and can participate equally in every aspect of social, economic and political life. Like a non-disabled, she/he is a human being & has the right to live with dignity. Thus there is a need for sensitization on "inclusion" and at the same time empowering the PWDs so that they can assert their rights to enjoy "full citizenship".more..
