#TheMarchIsNotEnded #MarchWithUs #StandWithUs #Covid19DisabilityReliefFund

"Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don't give up the fight.” - Bob Marley Over 50 PWDs, especially from the deaf community have joined the march, taking a stand against corruption & demanding social protection from govt #TheMarchIsNotEnded

"Sign languages are equal in status to other spoken languages" #TheMarchIsNotEnded

Being deaf is not a crime! Not investing resources to train teachers, service providers and citizens on sign language is the crime. For the longest, deaf people have been treated as 2nd class citizens & cannot access services. This has to change #TheMarchIsNotEnded

Our voices! #TheMarchIsNotEnded

Our Executive Director @ChiviCentral now giving remarks to the brave members of the PWD community who participated on the march. He is calling on government to "wake and and smell the coffee. PWDs nees social protection NOW" #TheMarchIsNotEnded
