Ghana Passes Disability Rights Bill

Almost one year after the release of Emmanuel’s Gift, an
award-winning, inspirational documentary showcasing the hope and
vision of disabled athlete Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, the Parliament of
Ghana has passed the Persons with Disability (PWD) bill. The bill,
which passed June 23, grants the disabled, estimated at ten percent
of Ghana’s population, the same rights in Ghana’s constitution
ascribed to the country’s able-bodied citizens, according to the
Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), San Diego, California.
