Building Bridges, Not Barriers: Accessibility as a Right in Bangladesh

Accessibility is the key that unlocks the door to inclusion. In Bangladesh, overcoming infrastructural and attitudinal barriers is essential for true disability empowerment. The Adamya Foundation is at the forefront of this movement, campaigning for universal design in public spaces, transportation, and digital platforms.

Physical accessibility is crucial for access to accessible education and employment. Digital accessibility ensures access to information and modern skill development opportunities. Our advocacy efforts push for better building codes and enforcement. Stay informed by reading our news reports.

The goal of all our work is maximum disability inclusion, ensuring that physical barriers do not impede empowerment or access to education support.

The Adamya Foundation believes that accessibility is not just a convenience; it is a fundamental human right. A multi-dimensional approach is needed to ensure this right in Bangladesh:

Physical Accessibility: Beyond the School and into the Workplace

The Adamya Foundation focuses on improving the physical environment in both schools and workplaces.

• Ramps and Lifts: Aiding in the installation of ramps and lifts in public buildings, educational institutions, and healthcare centers.
• Universal Design: Promoting universal principles of design and construction so that all new structures are accessible from birth.
• Transportation: Advocacy for making public transport more inclusion-friendly for persons with disability.

These infrastructural changes unlock pathways for accessible education and employment, leading to greater disability empowerment.

Digital Accessibility: The Bridge to Knowledge

In the modern world, digital accessibility is an indispensable skill development tool.

• Website Compliance: Assisting government and NGO websites to comply with WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) standards.
• Training: Training persons with disabilities and their trainers to use assistive technologies and digital tools.

Our skill development programs strongly emphasize digital inclusion. You can volunteer your expertise as a technology specialist to help us in this endeavor.

Advocacy: Pressing for Policy Change

The Adamya Foundation engages in active advocacy to change policies at the national and local levels in Bangladesh. We regularly publish news highlighting the implementation of accessibility policies.
