Wits University
Wits University's Disability Rights Unit (DRU) celebrated 40 years of supporting disabled students by removing barriers to education and promoting inclusion. Established in 1986, the DRU has grown from nine students to supporting over 1,126 students in 2025, emphasizing that accommodation is a human right, not a favor. The Unit's evolution from the Disabled Students Programme to the DRU reflects a shift toward empowerment and inclusion, with ongoing efforts in digital accessibility, neurodiversity, and systemic change.
