Why Disability
Confronting the Unseen Barriers in Disability
Many people with disabilities face a range of challenges that are often overlooked in our constantly changing society. At CDRID, we recognize that disability is not just about personal health issues, but also involves a complex interaction between an individual’s physical condition and the social structures they encounter.
Our commitment is to bring these hidden struggles to light, advocating for a more inclusive and understanding world.
INVISIBLE STRUGGLES
Despite advancements, 20% of India’s disabled population faces movement disabilities, and 19% each struggle with disabilities in seeing and hearing. These aren’t just numbers; they are lives hindered by barriers that many of us don’t see.
EDUCATION & EMPLOYMENT
The reality is stark – 54% of children with multiple disabilities never attend educational institutions. In the workforce, only 36% of disabled persons are employed, revealing a significant gap in employment opportunities.
AGING & DISABILITY
As our population ages, the prevalence of disability increases, with 21% of the elderly in India living with disabilities. This demographic shift calls for urgent attention to the needs of older adults with disabilities.
