Adapted Communities for All

Nawal believes that communities should not be adapted only for people with disabilities but for everyone . “ When we think about accessibility , we need to understand that ’ s not only for people with disability . It ’ s also for all the people with special needs , it ’ s for children , pregnant women , elderly population . We are talking about design for all and thinking about an environment more inclusive for all ,” she explained . “ I also want sign language to be recognized as a real language , so when we learn English we also learn ASL to communicate with people . We talk a lot about inclusion because now it ’ s “ in ” to talk about it , but what is the real meaning ? How do we apply it ? We need to focus on that .”
The Massiraa brand is now being strengthened . Nawal wants to create an inclusive line of clothing , a good quality product for people with disabilities , easy to wear but very fashionable .
She thinks people with disabilities need to share more publicly about their everyday life because many people do not really understand the difficulties they face .
