✊ WBDO Unveils First Official Protest Banner: A New Era in the Fight for Disability Rights
📢 Standing Up for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in West Bengal
In a powerful step toward social and economic justice for Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), the West Bengal Disability Organization (WBDO) has unveiled its first official protest banner. This milestone symbolizes the organization’s bold entry into advocacy, awareness, and movement-building — pushing forward with full force to ensure implementation of the RPWD Act, 2016 in West Bengal.
🎯 What Does the Banner Represent?
This vibrant and meaningful banner highlights WBDO’s core mission:
“To save the PWDs socially and economically.”
It captures the spirit of unity, activism, and empowerment, echoing the voices of thousands of PWDs across the state who are still waiting for their rightful place in society.
The banner reflects demands based on the RPWD Act, 2016, including:
-
Formation of an independent State Disability Board led by PWDs
-
Government job reservation and minimum ₹5000 disability allowance for the unemployed
-
Access to own land and housing rights for PWDs
-
Inclusive and accessible education and employment
-
Transport fare discounts based on disability percentage
-
Zero discrimination and strong enforcement of disability protection laws
🛠️ A Tool for Awareness and Action
This banner is not just a symbol — it’s a tool for protest. It has already been used in rallies, community meetings, and mobilization drives in various parts of West Bengal. It helps educate the public and policymakers about the urgent need for equal rights, dignity, and opportunity for the disabled community.
🤝 WBDO’s Call to Action
