What backs it

The public fund Oasis in Kyrgyzstan is documenting physical inaccessibility in Bishkek with the help of people with disabilities who are auditing infrastructure, building the Oasis Data Lab to combine citizen-generated data, digital mapping, and storytelling to turn lived experiences into evidence for policy change. Over 218,000 people with disabilities in Kyrgyzstan face barriers despite the government's legal responsibility to ensure accessibility.
