‘Just a little spark’: disability advocate on inclusion, belonging in Hong Kong

Disability advocate Faride Shroff, founder of SENsational Foundation, states that despite increased awareness of disability in Hong Kong, finding employment remains difficult for people with disabilities. Shroff attributes this challenge to tighter corporate budgets and a challenging job market, which are hindering the progress of inclusion. She emphasizes that employers who hire individuals with disabilities must also offer guidance, appropriate workplace accommodations, and roles that align with each person's unique strengths.
