Shattering Biases: Media Representation and the 10th National Conference on Disability

 Media has the power to shape perceptions, influence attitudes, and drive social change. The 10th National Conference on Disability, organized by Sarthak Educational Trust and the National Abilympic Association of India (NAAI), recognizes the pivotal role of media in challenging biases and promoting authentic representations of persons with disabilities (PwDs).

Themed "Glocal Partnerships (GPS) - Paving the way for an Inclusive, Accessible, and Sustainable World," the conference addresses the importance of both local and global collaborations in creating a more inclusive society. Within this context, the panel "Confronting Biases and Inhibitions - Media Representation of Disabled Persons" takes center stage.

This panel dives into the critical discussion of media's role in shaping perceptions of disability. From challenging stereotypes to amplifying authentic stories, the discussions revolve around the responsibility of media in accurately representing the abilities and potential of PwDs. Attendees can expect insights from media professionals, advocates, and individuals who are driving positive change through storytelling.

The "Confronting Biases and Inhibitions" panel aligns perfectly with the conference's mission of fostering awareness, challenging norms, and advocating for a more inclusive society. By shining a spotlight on the media's role in shaping narratives, the event sends a clear message: media has the potential to be a catalyst for change and empowerment.

As we approach the 10th National Conference on Disability, we invite you to be part of this conversation and witness the impact of media representation in promoting a more inclusive world. Together, let's challenge biases and inspire media-driven change that paves the way for a brighter future for all.
