IWK, Malaysian Paralympic Council unite for disability inclusion

The partnership between Indah Water Konsortium (IWK) and the Malaysian Paralympic Council represents a significant commitment to advancing disability inclusion across the region. Through their collaboration, both organisations are amplifying the voice and message of the '#WeThe15: Inclusive Together' global movement, which advocates for the rights and representation of persons with disabilities worldwide.

The initiative reflects growing corporate and institutional recognition that accessibility and inclusion must be prioritised across all sectors of society. By combining their resources and platforms, IWK and the Malaysian Paralympic Council aim to drive meaningful change in how communities engage with and support persons with disabilities.

The '#WeThe15' movement represents approximately 15 percent of the global population living with disabilities. The campaign emphasises that inclusive practices benefit entire societies, creating opportunities for fuller participation in economic, social, and civic life. The partnership signals Malaysia's commitment to aligning with international standards for disability rights and accessibility.

Through this collaboration, both organisations are working to raise awareness and foster systemic changes that ensure persons with disabilities have equal access to services, employment, and community participation. The initiative comes as Malaysia continues to strengthen its regulatory and institutional frameworks supporting disability inclusion across various sectors.
