Li Wang is a practitioner and advocate of disability rights. She is now working as the Program Development Manager for the Inclusion Factory, a social enterprise that hires people with intellectual disabilities and promotes the inclusive employment of the community. In her role, she develops family support projects, job coach training sessions, and disability awareness workshops.

She also promotes inclusion advisory projects as a new module, which encourages corporations to directly employee people with intellectual disabilities and provides them with the conceptual and technical support to do so.  

Li’s greatest passion is for the well-being of people with intellectual disabilities and their families.

Having a family member with an intellectual disability has given her a better understanding of equality and diversity, of how to respect others and be respected, and of what constitutes a better life.

Working a documentary project in 2014 was an awakening for her, as she met compelling activists for disability rights who changed her perception of disability and opened her eyes to the potential of inclusive employment.

As a non-disabled person with disability experience, she now finds that her most important contribution is to play the role of interpreter and facilitate interaction between the disability and non-disability communities.
