Enable Me Access

ALERT ... A manmade "virus" designed and distributed in India is specifically intended for PwD. It causes pain and injury to wheelchair users and those who are ambulant disabled. See the attached alert notice to learn more about this scourge by builders. youtube.com/watch?v=cQVzr2…

@handicareindia @socialpwds @DisabledWorld @HaryanaRpwd @jsocialactivist @MissionAccess_ @AnubhaSinghal5 @goadisability @DisabilityIndia @SCVashishth @ipradeepraj @friendsofeyeway Very common in delhi and so scary for the blind users.

Tactile tiles, when installed correctly, can significantly enhance mobility & safety. However, if they are poorly placed they can become hazardous & unsafe (Note: pics are of different cities) @socialpwds @access_anjali @DisabledWorld #accessibility #Disability #inclusionmatters

@AXSChat We can amplify and support their work by giving them equal oppurtunities to do professional work including government projects. #AXSChat #EnableMeAccess

Q6 Young female architects are leading efforts to reduce digital divides and ensure true inclusion. How can we support and amplify their work? #AXSChat #women #WeAreBillionStrong

@AXSChat @KavyaPoornimaB @AnubhaSinghal5 are architects with disabilities working on the cause of Universal design.

@AXSChat We have seen and experienced women architects taking interest in the work we do, passionate about inclusion and creating accessible environment. #AXSChat #EnableMeAccess

Younger generations are often less tolerant of existing inequalities and more likely to challenge the status quo, pushing for a more inclusive built environment and society. #AXSChat #EnableMeAccess

@AXSChat We strongly believe that training the students and youth on the subject of #acceessibility can bring a dynamic shift in the much-awaited change in the built environment. They are more proactive because they are exposed to more and more oppurtunities. #AXSChat

Q5 Are the younger generations the key to achieving true inclusion? Why do they seem more aware and proactive about accessibility? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #BillionStrong #YouthWithDisabilities #YouthLeaders #DisabilityPrideMonth

@AXSChat Yes, it is a great solution, not just allowing persons with disabilities but other diverse users like elderly, children, pregnant women. #AXSChat #EnableMeAccess

Q4 Could creating #apps that allow people with #disabilities to share their experiences and needs be a solution for better #inclusion? What features should these apps have? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong

@AXSChat #SocialMedia has been a great tool for raising awareness around accessibility and Inclusion. EMA has been following it through interesting podcasts on its YouTube channel. #EnableMeAccess #AXSChat

Q3 How do we ensure all voices in #India, especially those of people with #disabilities, are heard? What methods have been effective? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #inclusion

@AXSChat Once we have Persons with disabilities in decision making and implementation, we can have more voices heard. When a person with lived experiences is in professions like Architecture, Law, the sensitivity towards inclusion is more resulting in larger implementation. #AXSChat

@AXSChat Involving community at large fosters a sense of ownership and empowerment. #democratic #india #AXSChat

Q2 Enable Me Access uses #crowdsourcing to gather community data for their app. Why is this important for true inclusion? Can AI also help ensure access to community, advocacy, and understanding in accessibility? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #BillionStrong

Crowdsourcing is crucial because it allows people with disabilities from all corners of India to contribute their experiences. This provides a more comprehensive picture of accessibility barriers across the country. #AXSChat @socialpwds

@AXSChat For a country like India which is so vast and diverse, we need to have #crowdsourcing to gather information on #accessibility for lakhs of built infrastructure. #AXSChat

@AXSChat Initiatives like the Accessible India Campaign (making all public buildings accessible) are positive steps. We've also seen inspiring examples like major government buildings implementing accessibility features. Let's keep the momentum going! #AXSChat @socialpwds

Q1 Is #India really ready for a cultural change of true #inclusion and #accessibility? What steps have you seen taken towards this goal? #AXSChat #WeAreBillionStrong #accessibility

@AXSChat There is a huge buzz around the subject of #accessibility and inclusion. Though India is not completely ready as there is a lack of capacities and in-depth knowledge amongst major stakeholders like architects, engineers, policymakers, urban planners…… #AXSChat #EnableMeAccess

For Twitter Great news for disability inclusion! DEPwD & EnableMe signed an MoU to launch advanced accessibility training course. This paves the way for a more accessible future for all! #AccessibilityForAll #DisabilityRights #Empowerment @MSJEGOI @DePwDSCTGP

BREAKING: Donald Trump just asked for the Libertarian Party’s vote and the crowd booed him offstage. Retweet so everyone sees this.

@nipunmalhotra Nipun, really sorry to hear this. Did you reply to him “I am so sorry god cursed you for your ancestors sins by making you so ignorant”

Today in a market, a man asked if I was born disabled. He then said, “God's making you wash away past life's karma.” He then asked about my sibling, and expressed relief for my parents that at least my brother is able-bodied. Can’t believe these conversations r happening in 2024

@CABEIndia @DRI_Law @TheOfficialSBI @SCVashishth All this is done with the approval of local planning authorities. If they did their job this would not happen. No construction should be given a completion certificate without inspection and rejection of such nonsense!

The @TheOfficialSBI has been implementing physically accessibility for disabled without application of mind. Here is another showplace from MG Road Banglore ! @SCVashishth @DRI_Law
