Disability Inclusion

At Bodmando Consulting Group, we are committed to advancing Gender Equality and Social Inclusion (GESI) by integrating disability inclusion as a central principle in all our work. Reflecting our values in practice, 80% of our staff are women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from other marginalized populations—demonstrating our belief that representation and lived experience drive meaningful change.

Why Disability Inclusion Matters

Disability inclusion is more than accessibility—it is a rights-based and equity-driven approach that ensures people with disabilities are actively involved in shaping policies, programs, and services that affect them. Inclusion helps eliminate barriers to participation, empowers communities, and creates environments where everyone has equal opportunities to thrive.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres, International Day of Persons with Disabilities, 2021

A disability-inclusive society is not just one where people with disabilities live—it is one where they lead
