The Nation Newspaper Lagos urges people with disabilities to unite for common goal
, Dare Dairo, has appealed to people with disabilities to unite themselves, discover, and collaborate with organisations that will support their cause further.
According to him, persons with disabilities should know what they want and demand empowerment that would benefit them. “We have seen it happen recently with labour and we have seen the present level of gender inclusion has been a lot of achievement.”Executive Director, Hope Inspire Foundation for Women and Youths with Disabilities, Janet Adekunle explained that while 20 states have developed and enacted laws to assist individuals with disabilities, such laws have not been implemented at the local government level.
“The challenge is that oftentimes these policies are not cascaded down to the local government level and the majority of the women and youths with disabilities are more in touch with their local government level than at the state or federal level.
