Disability is an important medical, educational and socio-economical issue worldwide. According to WHO statistics 10% of population suffer from one or other disability. Some people suffer from multiple disabilities. UNICEF and UNESCO figures for developing countries are around 15-17%. When we study the situation of disability at city of Lahore and Pakistan the situation seem to be alarming. The most vulnerable population is the children of school going age i.e. 4-15 year of age (about 30%)

WHO Worldwide Figure of PWDs = 10% of Population

Less than 4% children with disabilities are attending special schools and 96% have no schooling due to non-availability of the facilities.

It’s therefore vital that the rights of these people be realized which is a collective responsibility of the society to uphold their political, social and economic rights.
