Abstract

This study explores the critical role of social welfare services in supporting people with mobility disabilities in Pakistan. Despite legislative measures such as the Persons with Disabilities Act 2020 and social welfare initiatives like the Ehsaas Kafalat and Benazir Income Support Programes, individuals with mobility disabilities face persistent barriers, including inadequate infrastructure, limited vocational training, and societal stigma. Employing a qualitative exploratory design, the research examines the accessibility, effectiveness, and limitations of these services through interviews, focus group discussions, and policy analyses. Findings reveal significant challenges, such as inconsistent policy implementation, insufficient disability-friendly infrastructure, and gaps in awareness among service users. Social welfare programs, while offering financial aid and assistive technologies, often fail to address the multifaceted needs of this population. Additionally, societal stigma and a lack of trained personnel further exacerbate exclusion. The study emphasizes the need for comprehensive reforms, including accessible infrastructure, standardized policy enforcement, and inclusive awareness campaigns. Recommendations include fostering collaboration among government bodies, NGOs, and local communities, enhancing capacity-building programs, and integrating assistive technologies to empower individuals with mobility disabilities. By addressing these systemic issues, the research aims to contribute to a more equitable and inclusive society for people with mobility disabilities in Pakistan.
