ISLAMABAD: On this International Women’s Day, Abia Akram has a message for young women with disabilities: do not hide. Born with a physical mobility impairment, the 40-year-old Pakistani activist has spent more than two decades advocating for the rights of women with disabilities while working with governments and international organizations to push for greater inclusion and a rights-based approach to disability. For Akram, International Women’s Day is also an opportunity to challenge stigma and encourage women with disabilities to speak openly about their identities and experiences.
