Disability is not inability. It is very unfortunate that people living with disabilities are not welcomed in our societies. We tend to forget that it wasn’t their will to live with disabilities.
Some were born with the challenges, some became lame as a result of illness or others were involved in road accidents making them lame. Therefore we need to change our perception towards the disabled. We need to accord them with the utmost respect they deserve and support them in all ways that need.
Let the lame also be given equal opportunities just like any other person in the society. Parents should not continue confining their disabled children in the houses but instead seek for help from the charity organizations. Together we can end dehumanization among the disabled people in the society.
