Persons with Disabilities are asserting their demand to be integral to any campaigns aimed at fostering peace in Nigeria.
This call was made during an event in Kaduna commemorating the International Day of Persons with Disabilities.
The primary objective of this event is to raise awareness and address critical human rights issues affecting individuals with disabilities.
The gathering emphasized the urgent need for Persons with Disabilities to actively contribute to promoting peace across Nigeria.
Advocates from the disability community expressed strong desire to contribute meaningfully to peace campaigns, highlighting that their unique perspectives and insights could significantly enhance overall efforts towards a more harmonious society.
The event also served as a platform for Persons with Disabilities to call upon the general population to lend their support.
Recognizing the importance of inclusivity, the community urged the public to embrace and champion the rights of persons with disabilities, fostering an environment where everyone has equal opportunities and access.
As the world gears up to celebrate World Disabilities Day, the event stands as a testament to the determination of Persons with Disabilities to break barriers, advocate for their rights, and actively participate in the pursuit of peace for all.
