Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) here Wednesday started a series of street theater performances to highlight issues related to persons with disabilities, the environment, and social issues.

The play “Hum Kar Saktay Hain” is being presented at various slums of the federal capital by the participants of three-week theatre training at PNCA and raises issues related to PWDs, their social inclusion, and educating the masses about the problems faced by PWDs. Improving access to income-generating activities for young adults with and without disabilities in selected low-income areas of Rawalpindi and Islamabad, the workshop was organized by Pak Women, CBM, and Human and Social Development in collaboration with PNCA.

The street theater aims at creating awareness of the rights of PWDs by presenting different stories.
