We can also make change: piloting participatory research with persons with disabilites and older people in Bangladesh

This report represents the findings of The Voices of the Marginalised pilot research project.  This was carried out by a consortium that included Sightsavers, HelpAge International, ADD and Alzheimer’s Disease International.  The research sought out real-life stories of persons with disabilities and older people, and aimed to enable a better understanding of their experiences of social, political and economic exclusion, from their own perspectives.  The work was carried out in Bangladesh, the world’s seventh most populous country and one experiencing rapid demographic change.
