Pause for a minute and ask the following questions: Am I thinking of the most vulnerable section of the society in my own community? You can think of orphans and vulnerable children, poor rural women, needy elderly, people living with HIV, drug addicts, people with disabilities , etc. People with disabilities are discriminated from many socio-economic accesses because of their disability status. Women with disabilities are even suffering the most misery with the prevailed social evils including but not limited with labor exploitation, sexual violence, etc. Let us have a closer look at their problems. Everyone is potentially disabled, so let us create a friendly environment for people with disabilities. It is immoral to dishonor women with disabilities.
