Benue State | October 2026
Disability inclusion begins with awareness, but it grows through dialogue, understanding, and collective action.
This was the focus of disability rights community outreaches and town hall meetings organised by Elim Christian Vocational Training Centre (Elim CVTC) under the BAADRIN Project from 2nd to 9th October 2026.
The engagements brought community members together to discuss disability rights, discrimination, gender equity, accessibility, and the importance of inclusion.
Through sensitisation sessions, participants explored the barriers persons with disabilities encounter in everyday life and discussed how families, community leaders, and other stakeholders can contribute to removing them.
Beyond sensitisation, the town hall sessions provided opportunities for community members to share experiences, raise concerns, and propose practical solutions to challenges affecting persons with disabilities. Issues raised during the discussions were documented for appropriate referral and follow-up.
The engagements reaffirmed that disability inclusion is not solely the responsibility of persons with disabilities or organisations working in the sector. It requires the commitment of families, community leaders, service providers, and the wider society.
Through BAADRIN, Elim CVTC continues to promote disability rights and encourage communities to become active participants in building an inclusive society where everyone is respected and valued.
Inclusion begins when communities listen, understand, and take action.
