Differently-Abled NOT Disabled

Our Focus 2030 agenda is harnessed on our Differently-Abled NOT Disabled campaign under our mother goal “Global Goal 10 for Reduced Inequalities”. Specifically looking at the target that rests solely upon activities working towards the social protection and social inclusion of Persons With Disabilities in our African communities. Africa is currently prevalently under the medical model of disability that looks at one’s  physical challenges as a basis for inhibition to success.

Our Differently-Abled NOT Disabled campaign stands to prompt Africa to move towards the social model of disability which ideally stems from the understanding that one is challenged in direct degree to which their society is adaptive towards  their needs.

By opening up our African societies towards social inclusion and social development that fully integrates the needs of people across all physical, intellectual and mental abilities, we work towards an Africa that provides opportunity for all to thrive.

SUPPORT OUR GIRL 50-50 PETITION TO CLOSE THE INEQUALITY GAP BETWEEN GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES & THOSE WITHOUT DISABILITIES IN AFRICA

GIRLS WITH DISABILITIES MATTER!

GIRL 50-50 IS AN ESSENTIAL PREREQUISITE TO ACHIEVING PLANET 50-50 IN AFRICA.
While we do acknowledge that there are current studies on issues pertaining to curbing the marginalization of girls with disabilities in Africa, we argue that there is not enough comprehensive information as to how the disparities & gaps between opportunities available to girls living with disabilities as compared to those living without disabilities will directly impact the overall success of the planet 50-50 agenda in Africa by 2030. The Global Goals are two years in, so we must put the issues pertaining to disparities between girls living with disabilities as compared to those without at the forefront of gender & human rights discussions. We must put this disparity at the forefront of discussions of the success of the planet 50-50 agenda in Africa. No group of girls should be left behind! No Girl should be left behind!
