We’re recruiting our citizen reporters, a group of young people who have disabilities living in the countries where we work, to team up with our global reporter Kim, to bring one-on-one interviews, conversations, round table discussions and radio style documentaries.
Through shaping and developing their own audio reports, asking challenging questions to people on the streets where they live, they are keen to unearth views, attitudes and perspectives of disability.

In this candid interview International Disability Alliance executive director Vladimir Cuk and Sightsavers deputy chief executive Dom Haslam discuss the progress of disability inclusion over recent years.
They touch on moving from “nice words and pictures” to implementing programmes in line with human rights, and the challenges they’ve experienced when development organisations truly work in partnership with people with disabilities. They also discuss the “harsh wake-up call” when the COVID-19 pandemic struck and revealed that “disability discrimination is so much alive, and well, and kicking.”
In this 26-minute report, the pair also share their vision for an inclusive world and their personal highlights to date that prove that change is happening.
Kim is our global reporter, exploring the complexities, challenges and successes of Inclusive Futures.
