Description ~Universal Access for Persons with Disability~

~সর্বক্ষেত্রে প্রবেশাধীকার চাই~

Disability is rather difficult to define. It is no longer a term used

to define a specific medical condition, rather, "disability"

encompasses an ever growing range of conditions.

There are about 15 million disabled people in Bangladesh, with the

number rising by about quarter million each year,this survey was done

by WHO in 1985. About the same rate being faced by many countries,

both large and small, across the world. Like other countries,

Bangladesh should also provide a decent and viable infrastructure to

support us. It is not impossible, there are many countries which have

achieved it to quite a high degree. However, for any reforms to

happen, we must first raise awareness of the fact that something needs

to be done about this issue. It is my humble request to everyone,

please help raise awareness of this issue so that people with

disabilities in Bangladesh may lead a life with a higher standard of

living. In this connection we have set our VISION, MISSION AND Goals

to have a change in the system and the society. These are in outline

only and will be elaborated upon further.

VISION:

A conducive environment for the overall improvement of life of all

People with Disability (PwD) in Bangladesh. (Bangladesher sokol
