Disability Publication by CAMPE

Campaign for Popular Education (CAMPE) has published a disability orientation booklet on disability 'Karuna Noi Odhikar' in simple Bangla language under Continuing Education (CE) program.

In order to improve the literacy situation in Bangladesh, government and non-government agencies have adopted large-scale program interventions. As a result, literacy rates have been increasing. However, due to lack of opportunities to utilize the newly acquired skills, people often relapse into illiteracy. The Directorate of Non-formal Education (DNFE) and NGOs are launching continuing education program to face this challenge.

Publication of this booklet will contribute for a disability inclusive society from very grassroots level. This publication includes general introduction to disability, types and causes, challenges and potentials of people with disabilities, socio-cultural and political participation, issues of people with disabilities at workplace, roles and responsibilities of the family and society. It also includes some success stories of people with disabilities as well as some highlights of Disability Welfare Act 2001.

This booklet was developed by Hasnain Sabih Nayek & Shirina Khatun and edited by Md. Mahbubul Ashraf jointly with Tapan Kumar Das.

AWDP-Bangladesh always supports such initiatives of promoting information and knowledge on disability and development. It believes that information and knowledge promotes empowerment of people with disabilities at all levels. http://awdpbd.org/Koruna%20Noi%20Odhikar.pdf
