In Solidarity with People with Disabilities
Solidarity on International Day of People with Disability
Persons with disabilities cut across all age brackets – children, adolescents, youth, the middle-aged and the aged; and all these groups have their own unique needs and challenges. Thus, they should not be left out of the educational, health, political and economic spheres of society, as they are active contributors to development.
Though we have a Disability Act in Ghana which commits government and stakeholders to a nationwide approach aimed at improving the lives of persons with disabilities, the progress in implementation has been slow. Basically, not all public (and private) places are disability-friendly. We call on the President of the Republic of Ghana, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection, and all other Ministries, Departments and Agencies of government to be more accommodating and sensitive to the needs of differently able persons by integrating their needs into all sector policies and, ensure implementation of same.
