The Access 2020, Race to Success is a racing event in which ten teams of six, race around the metropolis against other teams, with each team shall have three Persons with Disability (PWD) who is physically fit to join the game. We are inviting Teams from private corporations, companies or government agencies. The game is spearheaded by Tahanang Walang Hagdanan as one of its advocacy project in partnership with government agencies and other NGOs to realize mainstreaming of PWD and at the same time a dry run on the compliance of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disability (UNCRPD). The game will evolve around raising awareness on mainstreaming of PWD, health, society, accessible tourism, and healthy environment.
The game will initially take place in the metropolis where most of PWD are engaged in different activities and where most of the city parks, recreational areas, business establishments, transport system, and offices have already complied with BP 344 known as “Accessibility Law”. After piloting in Metro Manila, the activity will be replicated in other nearby provinces and tourist spots to continue raising awareness on the rights of PWD and promote accessible tourism.
