Diana Samarasan
Founder, Disability Rights Fund“From its inception, the Disability Rights Fund has reimagined how philanthropy is done—from radically increasing support for activists with disabilities across the globe to ensuring representation of people with lived experience within philanthropic decision-making. From revisiting how advocacy wins are measured to addressing intersecting oppressions and ableism. DRF is an innovator, built on ideas generated from the global disability community.”
Featured Video: Nepali Women for Inclusion
'Nepali Women for Inclusion' is a short film that celebrates the intergenerational and intersectional leadership of Nepali women with disabilities. We are glad to feature these diverse voices of Dalit, Indigenous and other rural women from remote communities who are changing the conversation on disability inclusion.
