My name is Nishat Afroze, my nickname is Kanta, age 34. I am a low-vision person. I cannot read small text without using a phone camera. I have three sisters, and am the only person with a disability among my siblings. However, I was brought up in such a supportive environment that I did not realize that I had a disability until I joined the workforce. The entire time when I was a student, I did not know that there was a separate term for persons with disability. I did not even have a disability card back then.

I was three years old when my disability was diagnosed. The doctor advised my parents that I should not be allowed to study, as studying could put pressure on my eyes. But my parents did not listen to that. They made me go to school with regular kids. When I was desperately looking for a job after completing my master's, I heard many negative comments from people. They would say things like "You won't be able to do this, you have vision issues, you're a person with disability," etc. That's when I realized that I was a little different from everyone. Until that point, I used to think of myself as a regular person, as a woman. Sadly, our society has divided people into four groups - women, men, third gender, and persons with disability - as if a person with disability cannot also be a woman.

I don’t have many bitter experiences from the time I was a student. I want to share a particular experience. During board exams, I used to make a special application to put my seat in a well-lit place. They would allocate two seats for me - one regular and one special. This way, I would be allocated two seats for the exams of mandatory subjects. However, this method would not apply to the exams of elective subjects. I had to sit for one of my honors second-year exams at Tejgaon College. I was having difficulty filling up the OMR form. When I requested the on-duty teacher to help me with the form, he said, “If you can’t read, why did you have to sit for the exam? Why do you have to study? Stay at home instead!” Later, a fellow examinee from another institute filled up the form for me. I was disappointed to see such behavior coming from such a senior person, especially from a teacher. But I never lost my heart. In fact, my positive experiences outweigh the negative ones. Since my childhood, I either used to memorize by listening to the lessons, or by my classmates would help me. However, I used to have a hard time trying to read the small texts in the question paper. I had to sit for my SSC exams at Matuail Girls School. As usual, I applied for the special seat and got it, too. There was a heavy storm on the day of the English second paper exam. The sky was dark. They lit one candle at the desk of every single examinee. But that did not help me because I could not see anything in candlelight. At that moment of crisis, I received a lot of support. The members of police guarding the center tried their best and got me a charger light to help me read. They even pulled a bulb from somewhere else and hung it beside my window. I had to keep the fighting spirit alive to pass my exams. Every time I had to sit for exams at Eden College, I received a lot of support. My classmates have always helped me as well.

I must mention Salma apu from B-Scan. I'll be grateful to her for the rest of my life. It was through her that I had the chance to experience having my first job, getting my first salary, and gaining valuable work experience. She made me realize that I am still a woman, despite being a person with a disability. I first joined B-Scan on 5 May 2019. I had a long run at the organization first as an intern and then as a permanent employee. Bangladesh Business and Disability Network (BBDN) and B-Scan organized an online job fair during the pandemic. Salma apu encouraged me to drop my CV at the fair. As a result, I got hired by Berger Paints Bangladesh Ltd. in 2021, where I am currently working as a sales support officer.

Through B-Scan, I have had the opportunity to visit many places in and outside of Bangladesh and see people with disability up close. I think disabled people in Bangladesh are not doing good at all. The biggest problems are accessibility and transport. Most of the buildings are not built according to the building code. Even when they claim to have developed buildings keeping in mind accessibility for people with disability, in reality, that means putting up random ramps or just having elevators. In most cases, they have not even checked whether it is wheelchair friendly, or whether a person with a disability can use it. The tactile tiles that are supposed to be on the pavement are not used everywhere. How can a visually impaired person walk with a white stick? I had gone to London with Salma apu on a work tour for B-Scan. There I saw how easy they have made it to insert wheelchairs into buses. We don’t have such buses in Bangladesh. We only have one option - Uber. And oftentimes, Uber drivers don’t want to pick up people with disability. Because the wheelchair does not fit inside the car. There are also many obstacles when it comes to employment. I still get some work opportunities as I am a visually impaired person. Those who are completely visually impaired or speech and hearing impaired, have almost no opportunity to find or get work. Currently, Domino's is hiring people with speech and hearing impairments. But jobs are not being created to the extent that employment is needed.

I feel that studying is also becoming more challenging for people with disability. In the olden days, teachers were more generous They were sincere in imparting knowledge and nurturing students, very hardworking and patient. I think education has now become a commodity. Most of the teachers teach with the aim of earning money, and students also study and flock to coaching centers with the mindset to get a job. As a result, human qualities are not being developed. This increases the mentality of thinking of people with disability as a burden. I think we need to focus on improving our education system as well as developing good teachers to help people with disability be established in society with human dignity.

In order to address this disparity and the obstacles that affect women's leadership in global health from a policy perspective, a panel discussion on "Women leadership in global health" featuring a variety of women leaders from Bangladesh and around the world on November 18 at the 9th Public Health International conference was organized by Promising.
