Disability Pride Month - Safal Lama

As part of our Disability Pride Month series, we are amplifying intersectional stories from activists across Asia. Today, we feature Safal Lama (they/them), a queer, Indigenous, disabled leader from Nepal.

Safal asks: “What if activism doesn’t see people like me?” Their words are a powerful reminder that inclusion and intersectionality are not just ideals—they are acts of revolution. Safal challenges us to go beyond tokenism and build movements where every identity is honored and every voice is heard. Their vision is of a future where dignity and justice are not negotiable, but guaranteed for all.

Join us in holding space for every story, and in building a world where everyone truly belongs.
