A young activist has been recognized for their tireless efforts and dedication to promoting inclusivity and rights for persons with disability, winning the prestigious Premju Soċjetà Ġusta award. This award ceremony, now in its latest edition, celebrates individuals and organizations that have made significant contributions to implementing the rights of persons with disability. The Premju Soċjetà Ġusta acknowledges the hard work and commitment of various stakeholders in the disability sector, including individuals with disabilities, voluntary organizations, and those who have demonstrated exceptional delivery and impact in this field.
The award categories include recognition for a voluntary organization that has worked towards achieving inclusion, a lifetime achievement award in the disability sector, and an award for an individual with disability who has made a significant positive impact. The scope behind this award ceremony is to celebrate achievements that promote an inclusive society where persons with disability, their families, and assistants/carers experience accessibility and independent living conditions. The Malta Federation of Organisations Persons with Disability (MFOPD) plays a crucial role in representing the disability sector at national and international levels, and this award is a testament to the growing recognition of the importance of inclusivity and accessibility.
