STREAMING EVENT, MARCH 1, 18.30 CET

INTERNATIONAL WHEELCHAIR DAY: Curbs on the road to human rights

For the second time we, at HRT, are celebrating the International Wheelchair Day with our partners the Jawalakhel Wheelchair Sports Club from Nepal. Our last pre-pandemic event was in Nepal celebrating this Day together, with a wheelchair rally in the capital Kathmandu. The aim was to demand attention from the Nepali government and people for the plight of wheelchair users who are particularly affected by the broken roads and pavements after that major earthquake in 2015. We ended the well-attended rally with a tattoo session of all our Nepali friends.

Traveling with us was Mari Sanders, the Dutch filmmaker https://www.marisanders.nl/, who’s short portrait of Bharat BC, of the Jawalakhel Wheelchair Sports Club will premiere at this event. This event also reunites Mari and Bharat exactly two years after we celebrated this day together in Nepal.
