Community awareness towards disabled person: overview at Malaysia chapter / Azam Shaharuddin … [et al.]

Awareness and support for disabled individuals in Malaysia are growing, with a number of projects focused at fostering inclusivity and accessibility. Organisations such as the Malaysian Council for Rehabilitation and the Malaysian Association for the Blind work to raise awareness and advocate for the rights of disabled persons. However, more work is needed to improve accessibility in public spaces, career opportunities, and societal attitudes towards disabilities. Disabled persons, who have a vast range of conditions and abilities, face a variety of challenges in many areas of life, including accessibility, employment, education, and social inclusion. Efforts around the world aim to promote equal opportunities, accessibility, and acceptance for disabled people, as well as to advocate for their rights and ensure their entire inclusion in society. Although progress has been made, more work is required to eliminate discrimination, enhance accessibility, and provide enough support and resources for disabled people.
