Inspirasia grantee DNetwork Continues To Raise Awareness on Disability Employment Issues

After successfully holding five online classes for persons with disabilities as a part of the Aku Mampu program, DNetwork reached out to the wider community regarding disability issues, especially those related to employment. This was carried out in various ways and targeted different audiences. Even so, the goal was one; to raise public awareness of the importance of collaboration in creating an inclusive society.

All activities were held online in collaboration with various parties. On Tuesday (29/9), DNetwork explained about job opportunities for Indonesians with disabilities to the South Tangerang City government, all heads of city agencies, sub-district heads, and representatives of the disability community, in an event held by the South Tangerang City Development Planning Agency (Bappeda). Then, on Sunday (4/10), DNetwork had a fruitful discussion with Special Education students from UNS. Meanwhile, on Monday (5/10), DNetwork was interviewed by Denpasar City Public Radio during a live broadcast that highlighted the inclusivity issue.

DNetwork also hopes to reach more layers of society to raise awareness on disability issues. Therefore, campaigns through social media are also carried out regularly. Arrohma Sukma, a woman with a disability who is known to the public as a mountain climber and entrepreneur, was recruited by DNetwork as an ambassador for Aku Mamp to help amplify the messages brought by DNetwork.
