Resources
Knowledge, laws, policies and reference materials supporting disability rights, inclusion and sustainable community development.
Knowledge for Rights, Inclusion & Participation
Dristi Protibondhi Unnayan Parishad (DPUP) believes that access
to reliable information, laws, policies and knowledge is essential
for promoting the rights, dignity and inclusion of persons with
disabilities. Our Resources section provides a collection of
important national laws, international conventions, development
frameworks, policies, guidelines, reports and other reference
materials relevant to disability rights and inclusive development.
These resources support persons with disabilities, families,
organizations of persons with disabilities (DPOs), civil society
organizations, government institutions, development partners,
researchers, students and other stakeholders in understanding
rights, responsibilities, services and opportunities.
International Frameworks
DPUP’s work is informed by major international human-rights
and development frameworks, including the United Nations
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(UNCRPD), Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Universal
Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), Convention on the Rights
of the Child (CRC) and Convention on the Elimination of All
Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).
We also refer to international frameworks concerning disaster
risk reduction, climate change, humanitarian action, inclusive
development and accessibility.
Bangladesh Laws & Policies
DPUP maintains reference information on relevant laws and policies of Bangladesh concerning disability rights, human rights, women, children, education, employment, health, rehabilitation, social protection and community development.
Disability Rights & Inclusion
Disability rights are human rights. DPUP promotes access to
information on equality, non-discrimination, accessibility,
inclusive education, employment, rehabilitation, assistive
technology, social protection, independent living,
participation and representation.
These resources help persons with disabilities and their
representative organizations understand available rights
and mechanisms and strengthen evidence-based advocacy at
local, national and international levels.
Women & Children
Women and children with disabilities may experience multiple
barriers to education, healthcare, safety, economic
participation and social inclusion.
DPUP provides resources related to women’s rights, child
rights, protection from violence and abuse, inclusive
education, gender equality, safeguarding and participation.
These materials support families, communities, service
providers and organizations working to create safer and
more inclusive environments.
Education, Health & Rehabilitation
DPUP shares reference materials related to inclusive
education, community health, rehabilitation, assistive
devices, accessibility, nutrition, sanitation and other
services relevant to persons with disabilities and
vulnerable communities.
The purpose is to promote awareness and help communities,
families and organizations identify appropriate information
and support services.
Livelihood & Economic Empowerment
Economic inclusion is an important part of disability
inclusion. Our resources include information relevant to
employment, entrepreneurship, skills development,
income-generating activities, agriculture, small businesses
and other livelihood opportunities.
DPUP aims to support persons with disabilities and vulnerable
households in developing skills, accessing opportunities and
strengthening economic participation and independence.
Climate Change & Disaster Risk Reduction
Persons with disabilities can face additional barriers before,
during and after disasters and climate-related emergencies.
DPUP therefore promotes disability-inclusive disaster
preparedness, accessible early warning, emergency response,
evacuation, shelter, recovery and climate adaptation.
Our resources include relevant national and international
frameworks concerning climate change, disaster risk reduction,
environmental protection and community resilience.
Reports, Publications & Knowledge Materials
DPUP develops and shares reports, publications, articles,
project documents, training materials, awareness resources
and other knowledge products based on its experience and
community-level work.
These materials contribute to learning, advocacy, capacity
building and knowledge sharing among persons with disabilities,
DPOs, development organizations, government institutions,
researchers and communities.
Useful Information
The Resources section is intended to serve as a practical
knowledge hub for disability inclusion and sustainable
community development. DPUP will continue to expand this
collection with relevant laws, policies, conventions,
guidelines, reports, research and other materials.
Where possible, DPUP will provide links to the official or
authoritative source of a law, policy, convention or framework
so that users can consult the original document.
Our Commitment

Through accessible information and knowledge sharing, we seek to strengthen the ability of persons with disabilities and their organizations to understand their rights, participate in decision-making and contribute to an inclusive and equitable Bangladesh.
