The past three months have given society an opportunity to reflect on life and all its facets. Many things that we had previously taken for granted have been challenged. This past week I was having a phone conversation with someone who works in Geneva, Switzerland. The focus of our discussions revolved around the link between human rights and the environment. However, we spent a few minutes on the changed circumstances that Ccovid-19 has brought to our lives. We ended that discussion with the agreement that in the new condition one gets to appreciate a lot of the things that we took for granted.
The above context should help us address something that we do not pay as much attention to like we should. This relates to the plight of people with disabilities in society. Statistics indicate that globally between 15 to 20 percent of the world's population experience some form of disability.
