Disability Awareness
Why Disability Matters
- Disabled people form the world’s largest minority — 15% of global population (1B people) live with disabilities
- In India, 72 million+ people are estimated to have disabilities, most acquired during workforce age (18–64).
- Employment remains critically low: only 0.4% of India’s workforce comprises PwDs, versus the 3% mandated by law
Recognized by the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act (2016), these include intellectual, developmental, visual, hearing, movement-related, and multiple disabilities.
Our Awareness Tools
- Infographics & storytelling campaigns
- Publications like Twilight’s Children (crowdsourced stories on IDD)
- School & workplace awareness drives
- Digital content explaining each disability in clear, accessible language
