Fiji Paralympics is grateful that FASANOC continues to push for more inclusiveness in sports.

Representative and athlete Leslie Tikotikoca says being part of sports forums and commissions gives them a voice.

Tikotikoca who was part of FASANOC’s recent Athletes Commission says all the time in sports, they have to push for inclusivity and they’re glad this is starting to pay dividend.

“This is where we can come and share our issues and challenges. This is to also challenge other national federations to be inclusive with their sports particularly when they go out to communities, to include children with disabilities.”

Tikotikoca without mentioning specific sports says generally most will talk about inclusivity but no action is taken in communities.

He says this is where their advocacy lies and they will continue to work towards this.
