Advocacy for Comprehensive Disability Legislation and Implementation Mechanism of CRPD

Outcomes included increased coordination and responsiveness from duty bearers, the establishment of effective monitoring mechanisms for CRPD, and improved understanding among the general public regarding the abilities and rights of PWDs. The project also raised awareness about government provisions and benefits available for PWDs and created avenues for their social integration.

The media’s role was pivotal, with awareness campaigns leading to improved sensitivity in reporting disability issues. Public engagement and advocacy helped build a disability rights movement, encouraging PWDs to actively participate in policy dialogues. By highlighting systemic exclusion and advocating for inclusive development, the project laid foundational work for legislative reform and the long-term integration of disability rights into Pakistan’s policy framework.
