FROM SHADOWS TO SPOTLIGHT: Stories of Rights and Recognition of Persons with Disabilities

The National Federation of the Disabled – Nepal (NFDN) extends its heartfelt gratitude to CBM Global and the Australian Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), for their invaluable support in implementing the Include Us project from 2019 to 2024. Through this initiative, we have worked in key areas such as accessibility, access to justice for individuals with disabilities, disability data, policy advocacy, and strengthening organizations of individuals with disabilities (OPDs).

This project has brought about meaningful change, and we have witnessed powerful stories of empowerment, resilience, and advocacy that have made a lasting impact.

This collection presents 15 inspiring stories in both English and Nepali, capturing real-life experiences, challenges, and triumphs of individuals impacted by the project. These stories highlight the importance of inclusion, accessibility, and collective action in building a just and equitable society. From the very beginning, the project has been about making a difference, and this collection showcases its impact.
