It appears organizations who advocate for the removal of the stigma associated with disability has a lot to do–disability turns out to be a stigma in many part of the world. Unfortunately, our dear nation Ghana is not omitted from this list when it comes to the isolation, the neglect and discrimination against people with disabilities.
This report by the Ghana News Agency really saddens my heart and I think the death of a one- and-a half-year-old baby who was needlessly killed by the mother could have been avoided if the residents and family members have known better.
