Jannatul Ferdous presented a paper on CBR and DPOs from point of view of DPO context of Bangladesh in the Pre-Congress Workshop Program on 17 February 2009 at Bangkok. In her presentation she gave an introduction about DPOs in Bangladesh including cross-disability DPOs for taking forward the movement. She explained that “movement from SHGs to DPOs in Bangladesh are outcomes of self-help initiatives, and the understanding that we have to fight for our rights. These start from group solidarity, sharing of experiences, insights and experience, and gradually move on to collective actions for changing the situation.”
She showed pictures of a SHG in a slum of Dhaka, where persons are sitting in a circle, to explain the importance of power relations, so that “all persons are at the same distance from centre. Participants include men, women, children, all mixed up, all can contribute in a participatory way – this is our basic idea that leadership capacity can be supported from SHG to national level. There is a gap between SHG and DPOs. Our achievements include ensuring participation of women disabled persons.”She also spoke about her personal experiences and how she faced social barriers after severe burns and is discovering a new identity as a writer. She feels that her life started for a second time. According to her education is the fundamental part of rehabilitation. Community-based Rehabilitation (CBR) & UN Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
