The World Bank Disability Report, 2014, suggests that qualitative evidence suggests that PWD’s are significantly poorer in developing countries than their non-disabled counterparts. Imagine a world in which the blind and visually impaired participate in motor rally competitions as navigators and treated as equals and not charity cases; A world in which PWD’s are active participants in the socio-economic road map of their lives and their communities at large; A world in which access to quality health, education and sustainable income for all is guaranteed. Despite the policy and legislative provisions made at various national and multi-national levels, such as the New Global Partnership, these aspirations may not be tenable if PWD’s themselves do not take the responsibility.
