Importance of Infrastructural Accessibility in the life of a person with a disability
What is needed to make movement friendly for people with disabilities in public and private places? From the perspective of Ms. Jasmina Khanna, an important ingredient is help and empathy from non-disabled people. In this candid conversation, she walks us through her experiences with cerebral palsy and how they made her the catalyst for the change she is today.
Founder and Vice President of Access to Hope, an organization making Mumbai Accessible, one footpath at a time, Jasmina spoke about how change has been perennial in her life.
Jasmina was born and lives with cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that hampers movement, posture, and muscle tone. Despite all the challenges in her life, she graduated from one of India's finest engineering colleges and is employed at an IT firm in Mumbai. Living in Mumbai, when it struck Jasmina that despite being aware of the need for accessibility, no one was shouldering the responsibility to initiate change, she, along with her friend and physiotherapist Sanket Khadilkar, did it herself.
Jasmina instilled courage and passion in the audience and left them teary-eyed. Watch this talk to see for yourself!
