Why is this work relevant for Media?
People with disabilities are an integral part of society and communities make many efforts to provide services that meet their aspirations.
Mowaamah, a certification program developed to encourage the participation of people with disability into the workforce by certifying entities that develop their work environments to become more inclusive and supportive of Persons with Disabilities.
In order to raise awareness about Mowaamah’s Certificate, we teased the KSA residents with a direct message placed in Parking spaces that intrigued them, the campaign's hashtag created a buzz and became "THE TALK OF THE TOWN"
Background
For many years, it was thought that the rate of disability in KSA was low, while a census found that a high number of Saudis have disabilities.
Unfortunately they have very limited chances to work and participate fully in society due to the fact that work environment are not equipped to cater for their needs and the lack of education about disability.
With the kingdom’s realization and in line with vision 2030 of improving quality of life for all, Mowaamah’s certification program was developed by The Ministry of Labor and Social Development in collaboration with international and local consultants, to encourage the participation of people with disabilities into the workforce by certifying entities that develop their work environments .
It was very challenging not only to raise awareness about the Mowaamah’s Certification program but also to change the society’s perception towards a person with disability.
