As we observe Disability Rights Awareness Month from 3 November to 3 December, we are reminded that building an inclusive society begins with understanding, respect and challenging misconceptions about disability.
Myths and stereotypes about persons with disabilities can reinforce stigma, create unnecessary barriers and limit opportunities for inclusion. It is therefore important that we challenge these misconceptions and replace them with facts, awareness and understanding.
Let us take this month as an opportunity to reflect on our own perceptions, challenge assumptions and actively practise inclusion in our workplaces, communities and everyday interactions.
Together, we can build a society where everyone is respected, valued, empowered and given the opportunity to thrive.
