Abstract

This community service activity aims to enhance the political understanding and participation of women with disabilities, particularly those with visual impairments, through inclusive political education using Braille books. The program was initiated in response to the low electoral participation among people with disabilities due to limited access to disability-friendly political information. The implementation methods included developing Braille-based learning media, validating materials with experts, and conducting community-based political education at the Sahabat Mata Community in Semarang City. The results showed an increased awareness among participants of their political rights and greater confidence to engage in social and political activities. The Braille book proved effective in helping participants understand issues related to women, politics, and leadership. Participants responded positively and expressed hope for the program’s continuity, with a desire for more diverse learning media. Overall, this activity successfully promoted inclusive political literacy for people with visual disabilities.
