We gain insight into the difficulties faced by physically disabled individuals in Pakistan and explore the current state of our resources and infrastructure available to those who are physically challenged.

We also speak with activists who are not only working to increase awareness about disabilities, but are also lending their support to less-abled individuals in order to help them achieve their full potential.
