@suruchikumar @UngenderTalks That’s why every body visiting that establishment must demand their Equal Opportunity Policy & complaint to GRO. #RPDA includes BOTH private & public sector under “establishment” definition. #DisabilityRightsAtWork
Ensure these redressal mechanisms in #RPDA2016 to uphold #DisabilityRightsAtWork in letter & spirit:
👉🏻Establishment: Grievance Redressal Officer u/s 23
👉🏻Districts: Special Court u/s 84
👉🏻States: Court of Commissioner (Disability) u/s 79-83
👉🏻Center: Court of @ooccpd u/s 74-78
Q5. What are main issues that you want the government to address immediately regarding accessibility and workplace #DisabilityRightsAtWork and #DisabilityRights @nipunmalhotra @drsitu @Singhpreeti_17 @IamShamsAalam

Would just end by saying that 'nothing for us without us'
Let's strike more conversations because we all are learning in our own ways!
Stay safe! ♥️

Thank you @IamShamsAalam @drsitu @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 @saysnidhigoyal for your time. This was an enlightening, informative and brilliant conversation on #DisabilityRightsAtWork. We're looking to have more of these on our platform at https://t.co/Cwckxu7Bo2
Stay safe.
📌Disaggregation of data based on disability
📌National suicide prevention helpline (#MentalHealth)
📌#NothingWithoutUs in policy decisions; Political representation
♿️ As per @OOccpd 2017 data, 42% of #PwDs still does not have disability certificates.

@UngenderTalks #A11y of the physical environments is a key factor u/s #SDG11. Despite my repeated complaints even the premier institution of India, AIIMS, New Delhi is not yet accessible. So where is @MSJE_AIC of @socialpwds?

It took 7 long years to make the ‘premier institution’ of India @aiims_newdelhi disabled friendly. Glad my persistence paved way but if this is the situation with Number 1 hospital what about @MSJE_AIC? #Accessibility is our right! #A11y #AccessinMedEd #MedEd #AIIMS
Despite laws like Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act and Rules, I still see establishments which do not have simple things in place such as a 'ramp'. It is unfair to put everyone in one bucket and think they can all take the stairs.

Q3. How have urban planning, preparedness and basic institutional infrastructure fared in the past decade as barriers to those living with disabilities in cities and towns? Have things improved? #DisabilityRightsAtWork #disabilityinclusion #PwD
#InspirationPorn, #Supercrip or #BetterDeadThanDisabled is how Bollywood (even Hollywood too) views disabled people. They should learn from @CripCampFilm. #DisabilityRights #DisabilityRightsAtWork
@UngenderTalks @saysnidhigoyal @nipunmalhotra @drsitu @IamShamsAalam We're shown in extremes, either as an inspiration or in the light of pity and sympathy. Asexuslised, devoid of desires of the so called 'normalacy of life'.
A lot of Hollywood pop culture is changing I hope we something here too!

A2. For #Agenda2030, we have to fulfill #SDG8 target 8.5: Full & productive employment & decent work for all women & men, including people with disabilities & equal pay for work of equal value. #DisabilityRightsAtWork #CRPD
@UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @drsitu @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 When people with disabilities generally get jobs, they are asked to be grateful for the opportunity provided to them. The environment remains many at times of unequal pay, discriminatory behaviour and charity.
@saysnidhigoyal @UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @drsitu @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 Or the other extreme labelled as hypersexual and deviant too , especially those coming from the #mentalhealth spectrum #DisabilityRightsAtWork
@UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 @saysnidhigoyal A2. Disabled are humans too & holder of rights. Reason we are overlooked is bcoz we ourselves aren't aware of our rights. #RPDA protects us from various forms of #discrimination, ensures access to equal employment opportunities, & societal participation. #DisabilityRightsAtWork
@UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 @saysnidhigoyal @MoHFW_INDIA A1. Where are the voices of hemophiliacs, autistic, intellectually disabled, those with multiple sclerosis, #HighRiskcovid19 on dialysis, with lupus, with arthritis. With the unproven focus on #HCQS the last two categories are facing shortage of this drug. #DisabilityRightsAtWork
@UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 @saysnidhigoyal @MoHFW_INDIA A2 #PhysicalDistancing is challenging for blind, Deafblind, caregiver-dependents. The focus is lacking on newer disabilities under #RPDA. Sickle crisis mimics #COVID19 symptoms; thalassemics need blood transfusion every month & lockdown is hampering that. #DisabilityRightsAtWork
This is so true. In these trying times, while social distancing is the rule, some exceptions need to be made from a social support point of view, which is unfortunately unavailable to some.
#DisabilityRightsAtWork @UngenderTalks
@UngenderTalks The burden of care is suddenly on the family. Friends and other social support is missing right now.
For blind individuals, social distancing is a huge challenge as we need to touch objects around us to navigate the way.
@UngenderTalks These are some of the issues the community has been raising, but even the community does not acknowledge and think about challenges specifically faced by women with disabilities during this time.
@UngenderTalks @IamShamsAalam @nipunmalhotra @Singhpreeti_17 @saysnidhigoyal A1. Majority of the information available on
@MoHFW_INDIA for #COVID19India is not in accessible format for people with #disabilities. None of the MOHFW press briefings are inclusive of sign language interpreters or accessible to deafblind people. #DisabilityRightsAtWork
