This International Day of Persons with Disabilities, hear from our Country Manager, Risham Raja, as she speaks about the resilience, strength and untapped leadership potential of over 1.3 billion persons with disabilities worldwide. 🌟 As a platform founded by individuals with disabilities, we have seen firsthand the barriers in leadership, education, and employment. But we have also seen the extraordinary contributions of persons with disabilities when given the opportunity to thrive. ✨ True change demands action. It's time: ✅ Businesses, invest in accessibility. ✅ Governments, create policies that prioritize inclusivity. ✅ Organizations, empower persons with disabilities to lead. Let’s embrace diversity, prioritize inclusivity, and commit to a world where everyone has the chance to lead and thrive! 🫶 #Deaf #DeafTawk #IDPD #IDPD2024 #Personswithdisabilities #Personswithdisability #Personswithdisabilitiesday #DisabilityRights #DisabilityInclusion #InclusiveLeadership #Road2Accessibility Ali Shabbar Wamiq Hasan Abdul Qadeer Risham Arif Raja Muhammad Taha Khan Abid Gul Nazia Intizar saira shaheen Zaheer Khan Ali Haider Kubbra Maroof

🚀 Behind the Scenes: What Running an LGBTIQ+ Organization Looks Like 🏳️⚧️💼 Leading an LGBTIQ+ organization that supports refugees and asylum seekers comes with unique challenges and immense rewards. It's more than just daily operations; it's about creating safe spaces, advocating for human rights, and providing vital resources for some of the most vulnerable in our community. 🌍 At QueerT Alliance, we're on the front lines, navigating everything from legal hurdles to emotional support, while building a community that empowers individuals to reclaim their voices. Whether it’s helping someone find housing, connect with legal aid, or offering trauma-informed care, our work is as diverse as the people we serve. The highs? Seeing someone we’ve helped finally gain the safety and acceptance they deserve. The lows? Facing a system that's often slow to recognize the unique struggles of LGBTIQ+ refugees. Through it all, the mission remains clear: love, acceptance, and action. There are days of joy, and days of hard-earned progress, but every step forward is a win for equality. 🌈 #Leadership #Activism #LGBTIQ #RefugeeSupport #HumanRights

A big thank you to OMNI Filipino (OMNI Television) and reporter, Keisha Balatbat for providing such an incredible platform to showcase our recent trauma-informed Arnis and self-defense workshop for women and LGBTQ2S+ individuals. Your support has been invaluable in helping us reach a wider audience and empowering participants with essential skills for personal safety and well-being. This workshop was co-facilitated by an amazing team of experts: Nora Angeles ( Adhika Philippine Development ), JB R. ( Combat Science: Warrior Arts of Asia) and Poy De Lara CTSS, TRLC (Udrive Group). The workshop created a safe, inclusive space for participants to learn self-defense techniques while emphasizing the importance of trauma-informed practices in fostering empowerment and healing. We are truly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate on this meaningful initiative, and we’re excited to continue raising awareness about the need for trauma-informed self-defense training in building safer and more resilient communities. To learn more about our upcoming workshops in 2025, please feel free to contact us. For video: https://lnkd.in/ejqgYfsT
