Education ensure the basic Human Rights of Disable people

Kona was a brilliant student before class five, when she was studying at a non-formal education centre near by her house. Her mother bring her to and from school. But after the completion of class five, she was hopeless. Because, high school is very far away to attend. Kona can not walk, she is dependant on her mother to go anywhere. Dhaka PSID Centre donate her a wheelchair. Her school authority transfer Class six from first floor to ground floor. Now she is attending her school twice in week. But to enter her class room, she had to cross three stair. She and Dhaka PSID Centre requested the school authority to built up a ramp.
We think human rights can be meaningful when education is ensured. So, Kona need blessings from every side.

PWDs situation in Bangladesh

The Government of Bangladesh is providing a stipend to the PWDs monthly. I practically know this. It is true. I also get information about this from my friend Sawalak of APCD. She sent me a copy of the article which was posted by CSID. I hope you all know about it.

But the PWDs never wanted this type of stipend.

They are crying for equal rights and opportunities.

Government is giving this stipend/allowance to the PWDs at the end of their rulling time. The next National Election will be held after four month. Giving this money to PWDs means they are showing the other that, they are good.

But PWDs never wanted this type of allownace. They want barrier free access to all institution, they want barrier free communication, barrier free roads and transport and equal human rights.
Government are not giving attention to this demand. Who told the Government to give such type of allowance?

Even the Government owned National Disability Development Foundation is situated at the second floor of a building without any lift or Ramp.

I think, the government want to purchase votes showing PWDs.
This should be stopped immediately.
What is your comments?
Please share with me.
