Access is not a gift. Access is not a favor. Access is not charity. Access is not a gratuity. Access for disabled people is not only the right thing to do. It is the law.

This action is insensitive & unacceptable. Establishments like supermarkets that serve all members of the public should ensure there are soap and water alternatives to cater for customers with sensitive skin, as alcohol-based hand sanitisers can irritate & damage sensitive skin

Promoting inclusion for persons with disabilities means recognizing and protecting their rights. Today serves to remind us that societies still need to work toward building inclusive communities NdiMhle tuu! ♿🇿🇼LadyFlawsome Njeri Maria Foundation #AccessToInformation Zvimiririre/Zimele Disability Zimbabwe @hopensalvation @ChinyowaZwie
