In its effort to raise awareness to make a person with disability Inclusive Society, a Freedom Walk for persons with disabilities is organized to express concerns on their rights to a barrier free society on June 29 at the Bonifacio Commercial Complex in Taguig City.

More than 1,500 participants will join this year’s Freedom Walk composed of persons with disabilities, officials from the national government agencies and local government units of the national capital region, leaders and members of the disabled people’s organizations and the civil society.

Led by the Alyansa ng Mga Maykapansanang Pinoy (AKAP-Pinoy) and chaired by the Philippine Association of Children with Developmental and Learning Disabilities, (PACDLD) Inc., this year’s theme, “Each Right-full Step We Take, All Barriers We Break” focuses on the progressive realization of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN-CRPD) which marks the paradigm shift in attitudes from viewing persons with disabilities as objects of charity to a person capable of claiming their rights in all aspects of human endeavors. Further, the adoption of the Incheon Framework and for the government to implement its Strategies in order to achieve its set Goals to Make the Rights Real for Persons with Disability in Asia and Pacific, 2013-2022 will increase the inclusion and/or full participation of persons with disabilities.
