PR No. 06 President of Pakistan’s Message on the occasion of International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2018 Islamabad: 3rd December, 2018

International day of the Persons with Disabilities aims to create awareness on the rights of the persons with disabilities. The people need to have equal access in all spheres of life like transportation, employment, and education etc. The right to participate in public life is essential to create stable democracy, active citizenship and reduce inequalities in society. Often, the societal image is impacted by attitudes based on stigma and discrimination, as well as antiquated ideas about disability. We are committed for promoting empowerment, provision of inclusive opportunities and equal access to people with disabilities. It is our endeavor to create a system of inclusion that will enhance their capacities and support them in setting their own priorities for taking advantage of the available various opportunities. Let us break barriers, build an inclusive society for all. *****
