Sharjah 24: Rahma Khaled is a passionate advocate for people with disabilities and works in media. She shared at the World Congress 2025 "We Are Inclusion," that both traditional media and social media are powerful ways to increase awareness about disability issues. Her main goal is to educate the community, especially new mothers, on how to support their children with disabilities. She emphasizes that children with disabilities are capable of learning, working, and living fulfilling lives, just like anyone else.

Media open the gates to self-expression

Rahma Khaled mentioned in an interview with “Sharjah 24” that the media gives self-advocates a chance to share their thoughts and experiences without needing permission from others. She wants to convey that being different is not a limitation; instead, it’s something valuable that contributes to the richness of society.

Sharjah embodies inclusion in reality

Advocates for people with disabilities recently shared their support for Sharjah City for Humanitarian Services, highlighting the valuable opportunities it offers to this community. They pointed out that by participating in the congress, they are showcasing how Sharjah empowers individuals with disabilities to speak up for themselves without needing others to make decisions for them. These advocates emphasized that Sharjah doesn't just talk about inclusion; it truly puts it into practice by creating spaces where people with disabilities can actively participate and connect with others in the community and the media.
