There should be an accessible prayer rooms for disabled muslim students. Being a muslim myself, daily prayer is an important part of my life; which in turn is a big part of many fellow muslim students. 

 

The prayer room at present isn't facilitated for wheelchair users. In the past students have left their wheelchairs outside the prayer room and crawled into the prayer room to perform daily prayers. This should not be the case! Without even realising we, everyone at the university is excluding students with disabilities the right to freely practice their religion as these students are struggling to make their way to the prayer room to perform prayers! 

 

Why are we excluding students? Why?! We should be looking to rebuild the prayer room or find an alternate space that is inclusive of all students!
