The physically challenged want their rights respected - Chittagong , Dhaka

Rehabilitation Centre for the Disabled (RCD), Unite Theater for Social Action (UTSA), B-SCAN and Chittagong Autistic Society participated at the human chain

Physically challenged people  formed a human chain yesterday demanding they be allowed to participate in and represent all sectors of the country.

Around 100 phycially challenged, including visually the impaired held placards and banners pressing for their demands in front of Chittagong’s Press Club around 3pm.

Blogger Sabrina Sultana, president of Bangladesh Society for Change and Advocacy Nexus (B-SCAN), presided over the human chain organised by Protibondhi Nagorik Shongothoner Parishad (PNSP). Different organisations which work for the physically challenged also participated in the programme.

Speakers at the programme said the physically challenged should be allowed to represent the committees launched by the government for them under the act enacted in 2013 for disabled persons rights and safety.

They said a physically challenged person should represent the physically challenged community as they could identify and disclose the exact problems they face in interacting with other communities. They urged the government to ensure their participation in the related committees and policy making bodies which were mentioned in the disabled persons rights act.

Rehabilitation Centre for the Disabled (RCD), Unite Theater for Social Action (UTSA), B-SCAN and Chittagong Autistic Society participated at the human chain.

RCD President Rasheduzzaman Chowdhury and secretaries Md Kamruzzaman and Md Iftekhar Mahmud of PNSP addressed the human chain.
