US Ambassador Munter’s wife, Dr Marilyn Wyatt, on Thursday recognised the outstanding efforts of ‘Special Talent Exchange Programme’ (STEP), ‘Pakistan Special’ and ‘Youth for Peace’ for the disabled people of Pakistan.
At the ‘Cultural Fashion Show of People with Disabilities’, Dr Wyatt expressed her personal interest in the rights of the disabled, as the mother, sister, and sister-in-law of disabled people. Dr Wyatt congratulated Pakistan for ratifying the United Nations Convention on the rights of persons with disabilities this year. She said the convention was a powerful tool for promoting human rights and supporting the inclusion of disabled people into Pakistan’s workplaces, communities. Speaking to the audience she said, “It won’t be an easy job. If it were easy, everybody would be involved. But as we see here today, you are not everybody. You do not want to be everybody. You are unique. You are powerful. You are inspiring.”
