Humanity deals with the rights of every person who lives on the surface of this Earth. However, the incapacitated segment of the society has not been catered to the extent it should be. I am Iman Faisal, student of A levels at Lahore Grammar School, Johar Town, Lahore. My father is a victim of polio, thus I have closely observed the challenges faced by him, not because of the disability he's been affiliated with but because of the way the society reacts towards his disability. Once asked about his biggest fear, my father replied in one word, "stairs". This is the primary reason I always accompany him to every place he intends to go. Therefore, I've initiated this petition as a step to highlight one of those key problems the disabled community is confronted with.
By signing this petition, you'll agree on the need to have railings with stairs along with ramps in the newly constructed public buildings in Pakistan. The existing premises should also at least add railings to the stairs if the option of ramp is not feasible. It is clearly evident that this is not considered an issue by many since the newly constructed structures ignore the importance of such facilities. However, we as humans owe it to our civilization. Hence, I'll be grateful to everyone from the global community who supports me with this petition, which is a tribute to the brave handicapped people of our society!

I am really impressed by the step you have taken. I agree with the fact that the government should entertain victims of polio and launch projects that will create ease for them as you have already mentioned. May God bless you and may you become successful in this mission.
This is very important, I have experienced this as well, and Pakistan does not focus on facilities for the disabled. Inshallah, we will see a change in our country, through the voices of our people.
A very good step indeed. I have researched for quite some time on Polio so I am fully aware how it disables an individual. InshaAllah this petition will succeed. All prayers with you! :-)
If stairs were built to aid humans then they're clearly not fulfilling their purpose. We have evolved enough as a people to easily build a replacement that would be more convenient for different types of disabilities.
I feel that this issue has been neglected in our society because no one ever thought about it. To be a pluralistic society,we should cater for each segment in our society-be it the disables or anyone. I appreciate and applaud this effort for caring about the disabled people, who have to be dependant on someone when going out.
I think this is a very bold and necessary step. It makes me so happy to sign this petition.It's a great feeling to know that somehow I am helping the humanity and I want to keep on helping them.
I think the world should realise this problem and work to make it better for them.

Every human being has the right to live a better life where they dont have to face troubles because of their class, gender or disability. This is very important!
