Leisure time for persons with disability

Article 30 in the United Nations Convention on Rights of Persons with #Disability (UNCRPD) (identifies the right of persons with disability to take part on an equal basis with others in cultural life, and to participate on an equal basis with others in recreational, leisure and sporting activities. A higher proportion of people with disability report having little choice over their free time compared with people with non-disability. Commitment is essential on widening access and participation and ensuring that the necessary infrastructure is in place to deliver sporting and cultural opportunities. cultural participation are lower for those with a physical or mental health condition.

Community activities provide great benefits to the health and wellbeing of people with learning disabilities and this improves their quality of life. Manique Gunaratne took the initiative to give the opportunity to a group of persons with diverse disability in leisure activities at Hotel Ahash, Mannar in April 2022.

 


The image is a photograph of five females posing for a picture while seated on and around a wooden sofa indoors.

This is a picture taken outdoors, showing a woman in a teal and purple saree standing in the foreground, looking toward the camera's left. She is wearing a lanyard with an ID badge. ​Behind her is a low, dense green shrub and a taller palm-like plant. In the background, there's a modern building with a white, tiered structure and large glass windows. A man in a pink shirt and black backpack is walking up a short flight of steps toward the building entrance. The scene appears to be taken on a sunny day.

This is a picture of a group of nine people standing side-by-side outdoors in front of a building. ​The group consists of five men and four women. Most are wearing business casual attire, and several people, particularly the adults, are wearing lanyards with ID badges. ​The individuals are posed on a patterned red brick or paver patio. Behind them is the entrance of a white building with large windows and a covered porch area. There is some greenery visible on the left and right sides of the frame. The lighting suggests it is daytime, possibly morning or late afternoon.

A woman standing outdoors beside a small statue of a deer. She is leaning forward and gently touching the deer's head. She is wearing a saree with turquoise, red, and black colors, as well as a name badge and several bangles on her wrist. The setting has palm trees, a green building covered with flowering vines, and various plants. There is a yellow and red railing nearby and a paved walkway beneath her feet. The atmosphere is bright and sunny.
