A Collection of Experiences from People with Disabilities, Practitioners in Disability Inclusion, and Allies of the Sector in the Philippines
The Center for Disaster Preparedness have sought out stories from 8 partner organizations of CBM International coming from various regions in the Philippines. Unknown to many, most of the drivers of disability inclusion are persons with disabilities themselves—mobilizing their own community members and capacitating them to be included in dialogues, policies, community-based rehabilitation programs, and organizations that promote their rights. This publication is an opportunity to highlight the valuable contributions that have influenced disability inclusion in the Philippines today, and to recognize the commitment of various people and organizations in building the strength and resilience of persons with disabilities.
