Inclusion is not charity. It is a right. Around the world, one in six of us lives with a significant disability. In Pakistan, the census counted only 3.1 percent, and only 31 percent of persons with disabilities have ever attended school. A ramp built. A classroom door opened. An identity card issued. A voice heard where decisions are made. No one left behind.

00:00Inclusion is not charity, it is a right.
00:03Around the world, one in six of us lives with a significant disability, yet too many are still counted last,
00:09or not counted at all.
00:11In Pakistan, our census counted only 3.1%, far below the global estimate, and only 31% of persons with
00:19disabilities have ever attended school.
00:21When a ramp is missing, when a form cannot be read, when a girl is kept home, a whole life
00:27is held back.
00:28But change is practical.
00:30A ramp built, a classroom door opened, an identity card issued, a voice heard where decisions are made.
00:37When we make room for everyone, our communities grow stronger.
00:41No one left behind. That is a promise we can keep, together.
