    Introduction:
    Disability is an important issue worldwide, and Pakistan is no exception. The estimated number of people with disabilities in Pakistan is 27 million, which is around 15% of the total population. There is a lack of awareness about disability, and people with disabilities in Pakistan face significant challenges in terms of access to education, healthcare, and employment. However, there have been some positive developments in recent years with the passage of legislation to protect the rights of persons with disabilities.
