Faith and Disability Advocacy

Many examples exist of family members seeing a need and bringing people together to take action. Rabia Khedr is a dedicated grass-roots community leader and disability rights advocate. She is a founder of the Canadian Association of Muslims with Disabilities. CAM-D holds a vision of a global village that includes full access. Rabia’s family experience—two of her brothers have intellectual disabilities–and her own experience of blindness drive her work to address areas where racial, gender, faith, cultural and disability experiences intersect.
