Every Dec 3rd, the world celebrates the International Day of Persons With Disabilities. It is time to reflect on this year's theme which is “Empowering persons with disabilities and ensuring inclusiveness and equality”.

| Disabled women should be empowered |
Millions of girls and women with disabilities particularly in Africa are being denied a fair and just chance in life. Without education and empowerment, they are exposed to serious insecurities and dangers, including early marriage, sexual exploitation, diseases, poverty and servitude. This crisis goes beyond the unfulfilled lives of girls and women who miss out on education and involves serious loss of economic benefits and opportunities.

| There is ability in disability |
Save Our Needy works to improve the living conditions of girls and women with disabilities in Africa. The organization believes that empowering people with disabilities will create a more inclusive and just society. As we look forward to celebrating the IDPD this year, it is important to note that there is "ability" in "disability."
