Barrier-Free Finance Initiative’s Post

Today, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), we are excited to share an inspiring story that underscores the importance of financial service providers gaining a deeper understanding of what “disability” truly means. This article highlights how a high-level insurance executive is leveraging its personal experience to influence one of the world’s largest insurance companies, raising awareness across the entire industry. As this example shows, addressing the needs of PWDs isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. Disability inclusion benefits everyone, delivering both strong social and financial returns for organizations that embrace inclusivity. To truly advance financial inclusion, we must understand the diverse needs of PWDs, adopt #UniversalDesign principles and ensure #Accessibility, eliminating the attitudinal, informational, physical, and digital barriers faced by PWDs in accessing financial services, including outdated policies and processes. Solutions already exist. It’s a matter of awareness and action. Join us in our mission to make disability inclusion a priority and ensure no one is left behind. 👉 Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/gEn_9FU9 #DisabilityInclusion #FinancialInclusion #InternationalDayofPersonswithDisabilities #Accessibility #InclusiveDesign #UniversalDesign #SocialImpact #PWD #InclusionMatters
