3) APSIG-ISOC Standing Group on Accessibility (Joint Program on Disability Leadership)
– Sagarika Wickramasekera, APSIG
Abstract: As the community leaders of the internet driven world we do have a responsibility of open and accessible internet for all. Unfortunately, persons with disabilities are frequently excluded in many activities with the prevailing situation. Our first task is to recruit, organize and integrate them into the movement, making it clear that each individual disabled person is as important as any other member, with as much right to have his or her voice heard. APSIG would like to present the insights learned from the Dhaka workshop as well introduce the Dhaka Declaration at the AP* Retreat.
