Omair Ahmed is the Director of NOWPDP, a disability inclusion initative, and Imran Ghanchi is a post-polio affectee. They join us to have a discussion about Disability, the language around Disability and advocacy for Disability in Pakistan.  

We get into a deep dive discussion about the language around disability in Pakistan and the lived experience of it. Imran Ghanchi tells us many 'interesting' stories of his past, these are not be missed!  

This is the third of our seven part special series in collaboration with the Pak-US Alumni Network titled, 'Conversations for Change', where we discuss pressing social issues, and have conversations about them with experts.  The Pakistan Experience is an independently produced podcast looking to tell stories about Pakistan, and Pakistanis, through the lost art of conversation. We do deep dive long form podcasts to show you the many shades that encapsulate The Pakistan Experience.
