On the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the Palestinian Network for Media Development Organization stands in honor of the journalists whose injuries during coverage have led to permanent disabilities, making their bodies a testament to the price of truth and their resilience a symbol of the Palestinian will.
Today we honor their immeasurable courage, their determination to keep working despite pain and hardship, and their persistence in carrying our people’s voice to the world. At our organization, inclusion is at the heart of our vision: through professional protection programs, training and empowerment, and community initiatives, we work to ensure that journalists with disabilities take part at every level and have the tools they deserve.
We believe that disability does not stop a message, and that the truth cannot be shackled… it is told bravely by those who paid its price.
