DNetwork Launches #KantorRamahDisabilitas Campaign
As we all know, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on society. The disability community is one of the most affected. The increasingly limited access to work amongst other things is a formidable challenge and indicates that the movement to create an inclusive society in Indonesia has a long way to go.
Our grantee DNetwork – Jaringan Kerja Disabilitas is committed to continue to be part of the movement towards inclusive society, especially in terms of employment. Even though throughout 2020 the level of disability employment has dropped dramatically, DNetwork hopes that the beginning of 2021 will bring new enthusiasm for companies and the business sector to boost their inclusivity. Therefore, in November 2020 DNetwork launched the #KantorRamahDisabilitas (disability friendly offices) campaign via social media, consisting of encouragement for companies to build an inclusive work environment, educational materials on how to work with various types of disabilities, inspiring stories from employees with disabilities and inclusive companies, as well as webinars on similar themes.
