Architectural accessibility is not everything people with disabilities need. While the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) broadly underscore the importance of disability-inclusive development; people with disabilities face exclusion especially in developing countries because of systemic corruption and the absence of a political will. Things become worse in a mixed environment as children with disabilities need extra support for adjusting to other students who do not have special needs. The views and inputs of a diverse range of young persons with disabilities are generally required to ensure meaningful outcomes. Young persons with disabilities currently do not have enough advocacy opportunities or the capacity required to effectively advocate for their rights in the country.
