Women with disabilities face many barriers within society that restrict their equal access to human rights: such as education, health care and employment. Despite these barriers there are many remarkable women and initiatives that are helping to breakdown stereotypes about people with disabilities. Students and organisations can come and visit the centre to learn more about how they can be more inclusive to people with disabilities, understand the conventions and Laos National Laws that protect people with disabilities and participate in disability awareness raising games as well as hear the individual stories of the women at the centre. By participating, visitors can help breakdown the barriers in society by learning how to focus on one’s ability rather than their disability. 
Workshops can be tailored to meet the needs of the organization. For schools many fun activities can be added such as wheelchair race, balloon game, charades.
