Need to work with UNCRPD for the rights of the PWDs - Workshop at Bangalore in Jan 2010

Dear ALL,
All the stakeholders concered with the disabiltiy sector are putting their best efforst to get their rights of the PWDs. We need to congratulate our selves for the work done. But there is a lot to do in this dirction. Tuning to the concern like: "what will happen to child after me" & "nothing about us with out us", UNCRPD is the right weapon at the right ime. It is the known fact that in India, the process of Amending the Indian Disability Acts is going on and in some cases it is emerging to formulate new act itslef. 

This still requires to create awareness among the concern stakeholder  both to understand and to implement the acts as per the UNCRPD. In this direction CBR NETWORK (South Asia) took initiation in making the community based rehabilitation (CBR) as the right based approach at all levels. The model with Panchayt Raj Institute (PRI) is the right approach to initiate the work from the grass root level. 

This is the responsibiltiy of all of us to get the aims and objectves of the UNCRPD in to reality so that the PWDs gets their rights like any one of us and thus helps to live in the community in an inclusive and barrier free environment.

Looking forward...

with thanks
