In Pakistan, persons with disabilities face daily struggles due to the lack of accessible and independent housing. Our community has long been fighting an uphill battle against societal barriers and physical obstacles that impede our basic right to live independently and with dignity.

Wheelchair-friendly, step-free, affordable homes are not merely conveniences; they are a basic human right. Yet, in our country, these homes are scarce, often forcing individuals to stay in environments that hinder their independence and affect their quality of life unjustly.

Currently, there's no organized effort by our government to introduce Independent Living Housing Schemes that take into account the unique needs of persons with disabilities. By excluding those who rely on accessibility, we are not only denying them equal opportunities but also dismantling the potential for a diverse and inclusive society.

Persons with disabilities in Pakistan require homes that respect their autonomy and provide them with the dignity they deserve. It's essential for policymakers to consult with our community to ensure these housing schemes comprehensively address our needs. Effective dialogue with our community will help in designing housing that genuinely supports independent living.

We call on the government of Pakistan to prioritize the rights of persons with disabilities and act now by introducing Independent Living Housing Schemes. This requires collaboration, planning, and the dedication to inclusivity.

Sign this petition to demand the immediate action and show your support for accessible and independent housing for persons with disabilities in Pakistan. It is time for our voices to be heard and for our needs to be met.
