accesssrilanka.org: "The Access for all campaign asks for the inclusion of disabled people when rebuilding the nation. This means rebuilding an accessible nation: making all public buildings, transport, places of employment, services and infrastructure accessible to all. It also means including disabled people in plans for the nation. THINK of the potential of an inclusive society when rebuilding the nation. Think of the potential of disabled people to participate in the community, to contribute to society, to contribute to the economy. All this is possible if we seize this opportunity to make all new construction accessible. All this is possible if we make sure information distributed to communities reaches disabled people. All this is possible if disabled people are encouraged to participate in plans to rebuild livelihoods and to rebuild lives.
