CBM IDPD 2025 | Access to Employment

Описание: Workplaces and community spaces are more than bricks and mortar; they’re where people find purpose, dignity, and belonging. But for many people with disabilities, the barriers are stark.

Access means having a fair chance to work, earn an income, and contribute to society. It also means being able to join in social and cultural life; from sport to worship to community decision-making.

When barriers are dismantled, people with disabilities don’t just participate, they lead, enrich and strengthen communities.
