Blind Citizens NZ is advocating for, and working towards New Zealand becoming a fully inclusive society, where blind, deaf blind and vision impaired people can lead rich, full and independent lives with confidence and dignity.
To support our work, we have created a social awareness campaign. The aim of the campaign is to educate the general public about some of the key issues faced by the blind community – and what they can do about it. It is based on the notion that…
“It shouldn’t be hard for our blind citizens to beat everyday obstacles”
To bring this idea to life, we wanted to exaggerate what it’s like for a blind person to negotiate everyday obstacles.
You can check out our accessibility campaign messages here.
