Truly accessible
The recent initiatives by the government to enhance inclusivity in the CNIC system – such as introducing a wheelchair logo for persons with disabilities (PWDs) and an organ donor symbol – are commendable. However, to truly foster an inclusive society, these measures must be part of a broader strategy that addresses the multifaceted challenges faced by PWDs in their daily lives. It is imperative to address the physical and systemic barriers that hinder their full participation in society.
For instance, public infrastructure often lacks essential features such as ramps, elevators, and accessible transportation options, making mobility a significant challenge for PWDs. Implementing universal design principles in public spaces can greatly enhance accessibility. The government should also consider integrating CNICs with tax identification numbers, health records, and passports.
