New Delhi: To achieve the dream of an accessible and inclusive India, it is important to provide its women and differently-abled with equal opportunities, paralympian Deepa Malik has said.


"Giving them opportunities and freedom is important. The growth of a nation can be measured by how its women and differently-abled people are treated. Instead of asking them to stay back, we must create a safer and more respectful environment for them," she said. Having won silver at the 2016 Summer Paralympics, Malik is the oldest paralympian at 46. After being diagnosed with a cyst in her spinal cord, she was left paralysed below chest.
