The Association for the Rehabilitation of the Physically Disabled (ARPD) has made significant strides in fostering awareness and advocacy through its multifaceted program. This initiative holds a crucial place in the broader mission of empowering individuals with disabilities in Pakistan.
One of the key benefits of ARPD’s Awareness/Advocacy Program is its commitment to recognizing the efforts of persons with disabilities on International Disability Day. ARPD invites dignitaries and lawmakers to ceremonies where ARPD recognizes and awards persons with disabilities and their contributions to the overall advocacy effort, thereby promoting their inclusion and contribution to society.
Furthermore, ARPD extends its impact to address gender-related challenges. Through events on International Women’s Day, the organization raises awareness about the societal problems faced by women in Pakistan. This inclusive approach helps shed light on issues that often remain hidden and offers a platform for discussion and change. ARPD’s seminars on disability prevention techniques serve as invaluable resources. These gatherings facilitate the sharing of knowledge and best practices, empowering individuals and communities to take proactive steps in preventing disabilities.
