Pillay discusses how parliaments can be more accessible to persons with disabilities. Parliaments can contribute enormously to raising public awareness on the human rights, issues and concerns of marginalized groups such as persons with disabilities. That is why this year, we are hosting the first open day for persons with disabilities with the aim of achieving greater awareness and engagement on the subject. This event is also being organized in partnership with two key national actors, namely, the Fiji Association of the Deaf (FAD) and the Fiji Disabled People's Federation (FDPF), recognizing that partnerships with civil society organizations (CSOs) and relevant stakeholders provide the impetus for greater awareness and success.
