📢 Policy shaping plays a crucial role in advancing the rights of people with disabilities in Nigeria. The “Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition) Act, 2018” prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability and imposes sanctions on those who violate it.
It also grants disabled persons the rights and privileges of education, health care, priority in accommodation and emergencies, and the right to sue for damage. The law requires public buildings, structures, and automobiles to be modified to make them accessible and usable for people with disabilities within five years.
Let's continue to push for effective measures to ensure equal treatment and participation of people with disabilities across Nigeria! #disabilityrights #nigeria #advocacyhumanrights #socialjustice #inclusion #accessibility #communitydevelopment #socialchange #disabilityinclusion #disabilityawareness #equalrights #disabilityadvocacy #injusticeisreal #injustice #justice
