On International Women’s Day, let’s shed light on a critical issue: gender disparity in disability recognition. As of July 21, 2023, NADRA issued a staggering 592,072 disability-insignia CNICs nationwide, categorizing disabilities into four major types: blindness, speech and hearing impairment, mental health conditions, and physical impairments.
Here’s the stark reality:
Men with disabilities: Received 420,715 CNICs.
Women with disabilities: Received only 171,357 CNICs.
This reveals a disparity of 249,358 fewer CNICs issued to females with disabilities across the nation, resulting in a substantial percentage difference of 42.12%.
Let’s work together to bridge this gap and ensure equal recognition for all! #IWD2024 #GenderEquality #InspireInclusion

ووٹ ڈالو ، فرض نبھاؤ
8 فروری کا دن بس کچھ ہی گھنٹے دورہے۔ آپ سب نے باہر نکلنا ہے اور اپنی پسند کی پارٹی کے امیدرار کو منتخب کرنے کیلیے اپنے ووٹ کی طاقت کا استعمال کرنا ہے کیونکہ آپ کے اور میرے ووٹ کے بغیر جمہوری عمل ادھورا ہے-

#VotePeacefully! Violence, intimidation, and intolerance have no place in the democratic process. Regardless of your affiliation, maintain peace and show respect towards your fellow citizen.

"People with disabilities not only face structural barriers but also contend with social attitudes dictating what's best for them. For instance, during elections, they're often told to stay home, questioning their need to participate. Casting a vote is their right, so we must shield them from such attitudes and facilitate them in exercising their right to vote."
