Inclusive Artisan Marketplace (IAM)’s Post

Take a moment to consider the changing potential of true inclusion and the strength created by inclusion. Disability is not a constraint, rather, it is a unique source of innovation, a distinct viewpoint, and evidence of the resiliency of people. However, there are still obstacles that prevent people with disabilities from fully participating in our communities, both apparent and invisible. How are you championing inclusivity in your space? Let’s inspire each other!

Today, we celebrate the leadership, resilience, and incredible contributions of persons with disabilities. An inclusive and sustainable future is only possible when we amplify the voices and leadership of everyone, especially those with disabilities. At Giving Hands, we are committed to breaking barriers and creating opportunities for persons with disabilities to lead and thrive. Let’s work together to build a world where inclusion is the norm and leadership knows no limits. #internationaldayofpersonswithdisabilities

Is your workplace truly inclusive? International Day of Persons with Disabilities is on December 3rd. Which means, today. It’s the perfect time to reflect on a critical question: Are we doing enough to ensure inclusion? Inclusion isn’t just about having policies in place. It’s about fostering: • understanding • empathy • action. Many people with disabilities face daily challenges. These include physical barriers and social stigma. Awareness is the first step toward breaking these barriers. Even small actions can create meaningful change. Listen. Learn. Take steps to create a positive and happy workplace where everyone feels valued. This December 3rd, commit to building an inclusive environment. Not just for one day, but every day. Inclusion is everyone’s responsibility. Together, we can make a difference. ♻️ Share this to spread awareness

In our journey to understand and embrace the rich tapestry of human experience, it's essential to have an open dialogue about disability.

As we educate our children and shape the minds of future generations, let's ensure we're imparting values of diversity, inclusion, and empathy. Let's teach them to see the ability in disability, recognise the potential in every individual, and create spaces that are accessible and empowering. Join me in fostering a world where respect, inclusion, and value are afforded to everyone. Together, we can build communities that celebrate differences and champion the rights of all individuals.
