The Maldives, a nation celebrated for its stunning beaches and serene waters, conceals a community often unseen but equally vital - the disabled. With varied needs and experiences, this diverse group has long navigated a world not designed with them in mind. Their resilience and determination, however, have ignited a movement towards inclusivity and equal rights, challenging the status quo and advocating for a society where everyone is valued and included.
