FROM SHADOWS TO SPOTLIGHT: Stories of Rights and Recognition of Persons with Disabilities
Published by: National Federation of the Disabled Nepal in partnership with CBM Global
The National Federation of the Disabled – Nepal (NFDN) sincerely thanks CBM Global for its 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 persons with disabilities, disability data, policy advocacy, and strengthening organizations of persons 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.
अध्यारोबाट उज्यालोतर्फ: अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूले आफ्नो अधिकार र पहिचानका लागि गरेका सङ्घर्ष र सफलताका कथाहरू
राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ – नेपाल (सिबिएम ग्लोबलको सहकार्यमा प्रकाशित:)
राष्ट्रिय अपाङ्ग महासंघ नेपाल (NFDN) ले सन् २०१९ देखि सन् २०२४ सम्म “हामीलाई पनि समावेश गर” (Include Us) परियोजना सिबियम ग्लोबलसँगको साझेदारीमा सातै प्रदेशमा कार्यान्वयन गरेको थियो । यस परियोजनाले पहुँचयुक्तता, अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूको न्यायमा पहुँच, समावेशी नीति र पैरवी, अपाङ्गता सम्बन्धी तथ्यांक, र अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूद्वारा सञ्चालित संस्था (OPDs) को क्षमता अभिवृद्धि र सशक्तीकरणको क्षेत्रमा महत्वपूर्ण काम गरेको थियो ।
पाँच वर्षसम्म सञ्चालित यस परियोजनाका विभिन्न क्रियाकलापले अपाङ्गता भएका व्यक्तिहरूको क्षेत्रमा केही सकारात्मक परिवर्तन ल्याउन सफल भएको महसुस गरेका छौँ । हामीले यस परियोजना सञ्चालनका दौरान हासिल गरेका महत्वपूर्ण उपलब्धिहरूलाई सङ्कलन गरी सबैमा पुर्याउने उद्देश्यले हाम्रो सानो प्रयासमार्फत आएका सकारात्मक परिवर्तनका कथाहरू तपाईंहरू माझ ल्याएका छौँ । यी सङ्कलित सफलताका कथाहरूले परियोजनाको उपलब्धि उजागर गर्ने मात्र नभई, यस क्षेत्रमा दीर्घकालीन रूपमा काम गर्दा सन्दर्भ सामग्रीका रूपमा उपयोग गर्न सकिने विश्वास गरेका छौँ ।
यस सङ्ग्रहमा परियोजनासँग आबद्ध भएपछि व्यक्तिहरूमा आएको परिवर्तन, वकालत र पैरवीले पहुँचयुक्तताको क्षेत्रमा भएका संरचनागत सुधार, न्याय प्रणालीमा आएको सुधार, अन्यायमा परेका व्यक्तिहरूले न्याय पाएको कथा, न्यून प्रतिनिधित्व भएका व्यक्तिहरूको जीवनमा आएको परिवर्तन, र यस परियोजनाले OPD को सशक्तीकरणका लागि प्रदान गरेको सहयोगले कसरी प्रभाव पारेको छ भन्ने कुरा समेटिएको छ ।
