The focus of the seminar was the assessment of the level of integration of persons with disabilities in KP and the role of stakeholders, such as government, civil society organizations and media, in addressing the lack of services for disabled persons.
More than 90 participants – with and without disabilities -attended the event. The guest speakers highlighted barriers in the implementation of CRPD. They also shed light on the challenges faced by the disabled in KP/FATA, a group that comprises an estimated fifteen percent of the region’s population.
