Our challenge
Te whakatara
ONE IN FOUR New Zealanders live with an
impairment. Our society does not always operate
in a way where everyone can participate. This lack
of participation can be due to a physical barrier;
a barrier created by other people’s attitudes and
behaviours; or by a lack of access to information,
resources and support. These barriers create
an environment that can make life even more
challenging for disabled people.
