In Africa , about forty percent of the population live with disabilities. In Africa " It takes a village to raise a Child. " The spirit of Ubuntu .... However Disability is associated with stigma , isolation and shame. Disability is seen as a disadvantage and a curse in the sense that most people with disabilities are exposed to violence and abuse and sometimes this abuse is justified by culture or religious beliefs .
As signatories to the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. All African countries can draw from human rights values and morality of Ubuntu to promote and respect rights of those with disabilities.
Let's Stop Stigma against the people with disabilities.
