Diversity, inclusion, equal opportunity have failed. Every human being have unique qualities, virtues and values. So are her/his capabilities, cognition, conscience, skills, knowledge preferences. So are every human being has unique ethnicities, culture, experiences. All these makes Diversity, inclusion, equal opportunity fake concepts. Actual agenda behind these and numerous others like gender equality, LGBTQ, Feminism, patriarchy etc. are exploitative and greedy concepts with nefarious agenda.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧? Diversity—through the lenses of race, ethnicity, ability, gender, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, and beyond—can help to strengthen organizations. Quite simply, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) is used to describe three values that many organizations today strive to embody to help meet the needs of people from all walks of life. Yes, companies may talk about it, yet do they have structures and policies in place to manage this. What about the 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 and 𝐧𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐲, which is described as the perspectives of people with disabilities, whether apparent or not, being heard and accounted for? While we take conginissance of this, it good to note, some companies have taken strides and we can certainly gather inspiration from them in building a DEI strong culture. The starting will always be challenging, however what will you get you going is basically this. Do you really believe in it? or is it just a check box to fill in to look good? https://lnkd.in/drYng9eM #diversityandinclusion #diversity #enable #equity #inclusion Pradeep Shiwmaharaj

You may have seen Stand Out Socks on Dragons Den and they send out such a powerful message. Currently it is nearly impossible for people with learning difficulties to find work. My Step-Daughter is Autistic and works 3 days a week in a charity shop. She is never late, never off sick and always goes to work with a smile. She has a list of duties that she ticks off each day, a task she does with a smile, unyet she is unable to find paid work. In modern society the expectation at work is all about speed. How much work can be crammed into each day so the employer gets the most value. However as a customer, having someone who can spend more time with you and greet you with a smile leaves a lasting impression. It's time to rethink employment to be more inclusive, offer people with learning disabilities a role within your business and lead the way to transform lives! #disabilitysupport #autismsupport #inclusiveculture #changemakers #employmentopportunities #supportedemployment

Closing out Disability Pride Month with this insight. Be sure to read the comments, too; there are great conversations about people-first vs. identity-first language, which some in various disabled communities prefer. My personal advice on that is: depending on the community, just ask a person their preference! In speaking with a Deaf or autistic individual, recognize that those in each community generally prefer identity-first, while folks in other disability communities are split. Individually, I prefer 'person with a disability/neurodivergence.'

The correct way...

Under the pillar of Hunar, we focus on sustainable skills development of persons with disabilities so that they can be integrated into society and live as financially empowered individuals.
