The Pathway To Equality – Disability Accessibility In Jakarta, Indonesia
In the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, a lack of accessibility is still a daily reality for the city’s disability community. Yet, damaged pathways, a lack of visual signage, and guiding blocks that lead straight into open drains aren’t just hindering daily commutes. They are also having serious, flow-on effects for this community with regards to equal independence, safety, access to community services, and financial cost.
