‘Persons with disabilities seek dignity, not charity’
Rights advocates and experts yesterday urged the government to move beyond allowance-based support and adopt a disability-inclusive budget for the 2026–27 fiscal year, noting that rising living costs, limited access to services, and disability-related expenses are worsening hardship for persons with disabilities.
They made the remarks at a roundtable titled “Disability-Inclusive Budget 2026–27: Addressing Inflation and Economic Challenges” held at The Daily Star Centre.
