Today, as part of the Equal Bangladesh Campaign, we had a productive and meaningful meeting with the Hon’ble Acting Speaker of Parliament, Barrister Kayser Kamal, to discuss the formation of a Parliamentary Caucus for Persons with Disabilities.
The discussion focused on strengthening the political participation, representation, and meaningful inclusion of persons with disabilities in decision-making processes.
The proposed caucus could create an important platform for bringing disability rights and inclusion into parliamentary discussions and for strengthening collaboration between Parliament, policymakers, and Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs).
It was encouraging to have this important conversation at the parliamentary level. We hope this initiative will pave the way for meaningful action towards a more inclusive, accessible, and equitable Bangladesh.
Nothing about us without us. ♿🇧🇩
