Challenges are there but my country is fast changing. The fact that I am a part of this panel shows that we are on the cusp of very good change. Talking about change, I have been listening to 'access' to nutrition, health, opportunities, etc., for me, access is challenging. Access will come when you focus on accessibility. I would want to talk about access in the mindset of people- where you accept disability, where a person with a disability doesn't become an outcast. Then also, access to the digital world; are all websites, applications, software accessible? People who have mobility challenges don't mean they can't contribute to the economy.
