STRENTHENING PROTECTION OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES IN FORCED DISPLACEMENTDonbassFullAccess
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 15 percent of any population are persons with disabilities1, with potentially higher proportions in communities that have fled conflict or natural disasters. Hence it can be estimated that there may be approximately 126,716 persons with disabilities among the population of refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs and stateless persons in Ukraine.
In situations of forced displacement, persons with disabilities may be at heightened risk of exploitation and violence; and often face numerous barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance. In addition, persons with disabilities are often excluded from participation in decisionmaking processes and opportunities to use their capacities to benefit their families and communities.
UNHCR’s Age, Gender and Diversity (AGD) Policy details the organization’s wider commitment to a rights-based approach and highlights that effective protection will only be achieved by ensuring equal consideration is given to the needs and capacities of different age, gender and diversity groups within displaced communities. UNHCR is thus committed to ensuring that the rights of refugees, asylum seekers and IDPs with disabilities are met without discrimination.

Need of Technical Educational Integration in Disability Sector for Differentl...Dr. Amarjeet Singh
As per 2011 census there are 2.68 crore differently
abled persons in the country. Assistive devices and
equipments can significantly help persons with disabilities
to become independent in daily activities. There are many
eminent technical educational institutions in India and
many are conducting research works for the development
of assistive technology for the differently abled. So an
extensive search was conducted to explore the assistive
technology related projects undertaken in India. Out of 137
studies retrieved 34 met the inclusion criteria. The result
shows that many researches are being carried out for the
development of assistive technology in India. Many of the
products are in the prototype stage or in the feasibility
stage. It emphasises the need for extensive field testing and
commercial production of the assistive technologies. Such
initiatives will lead to differently abled empowerment. The
authors put forward some suggestions in this regard.

There was a time when disability - physical or mental, was considered a curse both on the family of the disabled person and the person himself. It was believed that it was God's retribution for sins committed in previous birth. Thankfully, modern science has helped to clear such misapprehensions. Disability is now being accepted as a curable medical condition. The disabled are no longer expected to be treated as outcasts of society. Science and innovation has provided tools to supplement their disabilities. Braille, Jaipur foot are some examples which have bettered the lives of the physically disabled. Mentally challenged have also benefitted with greater recognition and responsiveness about their needs in the society.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

states that disability cannot be a reason or criteria for
lack of access to development programming and the
realization of human rights.

Introduction
Advantages of hiring PWDs
The barriers in employing PWDs
Introducing the ASCO Matrix and Specific guidelines to Employers
Employing PWDs in Transport and logistics sector

4. The two main existences and four types of
human disability
UNESCAP 4
5. Significance
• 1.3 billion people worldwide experience
significant disability.
• 80% of persons with disabilities (PwDs) live in
developing countries.
• 472 million persons of working age in Asia are
with disabilities
• Almost two thirds of them are outside the labor
force
• A disability diminishes their contribution to the
society.
• The United Nations Convention on the Rights of
Persons with Disabilities promotes the full
integration of persons with disabilities in
societies.
• Global awareness of disability-inclusive
development is increasing.

6. Advantages of
employing PWDs
UNESCAP 6
PWDs make good, dependable employees.
As a group, they perform on par or better
than their non-disabled peers on measures
such as productivity, safety and attendance.
PWDs are more likely to stay on the job.
Therefore, cost of job turnover is minimized.
7. Advantages of
employing PWDs
UNESCAP 7
Hiring PWDs may increase overall
workforce morale when they become part
of the staff.
PWDs are an untapped resource of skills
and talents. Usually, they are differently
abled and may have specific skills that
businesses need.
Psychologically, they develop courage to
live without certain physical abilities that
lead to greater transferable problem-
solving skills in daily life.
8. Advantages
of
employing
PWDs
UNESCAP 8
Getting them on board reduces the burden on their families, society,
governments too.
Therefore, hiring PWDs is a win-win case for both the employee and
employer.
Ignoring this market may mean losing an indispensable market
intelligence the family and friends of PWDs.
Having employees who know first-hand about the product and service
needs of the PWD consumer segment is a real advantage.
PWDs represent an overlooked and multibillion-dollar market segment.
9. Barriers for employing PWDs
Lack of accurate data
Lack of formal education
Absence of systems of training
support and continuous
monitoring or being unaffordable
UNESCAP 9
https://www.preventionweb.net/blog/when-disasters-strike-people-disabilities-must-not-be-left-behind
10. Lack of proper education
UNESCAP 10
A person without a leg could be
equipped with an artificial leg to
attend his work at any time but a
person without basic education at
the childhood cannot be reversed
or supplied with education at a
later stage.
Excluding the disabled people from
education due to problem of
travelling etc. make them more
disabled than ever.
It is more serious than of having
been physically handicapped as it
keeps them away from all future
opportunities.
11. Duty and responsibility of the society
• Identify the best fit jobs for the PWDs and transform
them through education and training pathway at the
right time.
• If it is already late map their current strengths and
aspirations against opportunities and existing
constraints.
UNESCAP 11
12. The use of ASCO Matrix to identify
the best fit
UNESCAP 12

It is recommended to use a new matrix to assess
the “able” characteristics of a partly abled person
13. Specific guidelines to Employers

14. Recommendations
• The focus on country specific
Guideline/best practices may
help to increase PWD
workforce in the transport
sector
• The eight guiding principles
of the “UN Convention on
the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities” should be
followed
UNESCAP 14
15. Rights of Persons with
Disabilities
1. Respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the
freedom to make one’s own choices, and independence of
persons
2. Respect for the evolving capacities of children with disabilities
and respect for the right of children with disabilities to preserve
their identities.
3. Respect for difference and acceptance of persons with disabilities
as part of human diversity and humanity
4. Full and effective participation and inclusion in society
5. Equality of opportunity
6. Accessibility
7. Non-discrimination
8. Equality between men and women
UNESCAP 15

16. Employing PWDs in
Transport and logistics
sector
• Freight transport sector has many
opportunities for PwDs
• Machines have taken care of many
activities that earlier demanded physical
involvement of people.
• “Work from home” (WfH) reduced the
need for travelling between the home
and office.
• Working at a call center gives plenty of
flexibility for disabled people
• Women with disabilities are recognized
to be multiply disadvantaged
UNESCAP 16
17. Way forward
UNESCAP 17
Empathy: Visualize oneself as one of them even if you are not a disabled
person
Visualize
See-through: See the person first, not the disability; listen to the person
behind the disability
