Barriers to Independent Living
physical barriers
Physical Barriers
Physical barriers at work, schools, government buildings, public buildings, homes, construction zones and transport restrict or prevent people from living, learning and traveling independently all across Nepal.
Legislation and Information
Legislation and Information
Limited or non existent legislation and policies force people to live segregated and institutionalised lives. More publicly available and accessible information is needed to support people to live independently.
Society and its attitudes
Society and its Attitudes
Attitudes to people with disabilities can restrict their ability to make independent decisions. These attitudes need to be changed to support greater independent living across Nepal.
