Persons with disabilities are a key constituency in Zimbabwe and are estimated to make up 7% of the population; however, they remain invisible in all levels of society and face numerous challenges in accessing healthcare, jobs, education, and justice. @unescoROSA @UNDPZimbabwe
On this day, and everyday too, let us celebrate and support those living with CP, and to help to work towards inclusive and accessible communities for everyone. @WorldCPDay @NASCOHZW1 @LCDZim @NkomwaTrust @dadsofhopetrust

Achieving #disabilityinclusion and empowerment #demands trans-formative shifts and innovative solutions for removing structural barriers. Social innovations have potential to serve as a powerful tool to break trends and increase awareness, for marginalized groups @unescoROSA

Vusumuzi Ndlovu from Zimbabwe Network of disability and HIV/AIDS organization, says people do not know how to deal with persons with disabilities leading to their abuse. He says they train people on how to take care of PLWDs. #Asakhe @zenzele @BYOgallery
Lockdowns have made it difficult for children with disabilities to get therapies even in #Zimbabwe. How can these gaps be bridged during lockdown eince therapies are very important?@CURE_UK @Mamoxn @icodzimtrust @PJiriInitiative @RehabforAllSA @NkomwaTrust @dadsofhopetrust
During this time of devastation by #Covid19, we must spare a thought for those members of our society who are often overlooked such as persons with #disabilities & their families @GwiziSoneni @LCDZim @NkomwaTrust @sam_signsofhope @analytque @gracious_trust
This is tragic beyond words. 😭
She should have asked for help.
As a mother of a child with severe cerebral palsy,
I get how someone can get overwhelmed.
Please offer your friends & neighbors raising children with disabilities support & respite,❤
It is not easy.

...The pandemic has revealed how critically important it is to produce essential information in accessible formats, including in Braille and audible formats. #WorldBrailleDay

Promoting inclusion for persons with disabilities means recognizing and protecting their rights. Today serves to remind us that societies still need to work toward building inclusive communities @GwiziSoneni @NMFincluded @signsofhopezim @zvimiririre @hopensalvation @ChinyowaZwie
This action is insensitive & unacceptable. Establishments like supermarkets that serve all members of the public should ensure there are soap and water alternatives to cater for customers with sensitive skin, as alcohol-based hand sanitisers can irritate & damage sensitive skin
TM Pick n Pay Masvingo today prevented a woman with albinism from getting into the shop because her sensitive skin could not be sanitized. Disability Amalgamation Commumity Trust (DACT) is demanding a full apology.

This is nice to see... Our societies should teach children about #disabilities, #inclusion and #accommodations early on in childhood so that they grow up to be adults who fully understand issues of disabilty and inclusion.
Good morning!
#CerebralPalsy doesn't stop us, #CerebralPalsy teaches us to do life in another way with the help of rehabilitation therapy.

Access is not a gift.
Access is not a favor.
Access is not charity.
Access is not a gratuity.
Access for disabled people is not only the right thing to do.
It is the law.
One of the challenges for persons with a #disability - #accesstojustice system for enforcement of their rights...

We are aware & are shocked to learn of reports that some of our brothers & sisters with disabilities are facing further discrimination and isolation in the current climate with COVID-19. We have prepared a COVID-19 webpage w key recommendations. bit.ly/2IYu7VF #COVID19
