 Parents with children with special needs have been advised to accept their kids and make enquiries on issues concerning their disabilities. The advice was given on the sidelines of diversity, equity, inclusion and disability dialogues put together by a group called Collaborating Hands. Founder of the group Rebecca Latungi says the role of government and civil society of government in pushing the call for inclusivity is beyond sympathy for people with disabilities. Latungi explains that a programme is focused on the responsibilities of stakeholders in driving disability inclusion for systemic change. Now the role of empathy should never be misplaced. We should look beyond the concept of just helping persons with disabilities. You want to give them bread, you want to help them. When you help them like that, what happens next? Now we should go into the human right approach of disability inclusion and in this area we start to talk about what really matters. How persons with disabilities can begin to fit into important places, places that they should be that can help them develop their own person, their own individual and bring into light letting people know that they can as well do what someone without disability can do. We have laws, the National Disability Prohibition Act for Persons with Disabilities that were signed into law 2019. The law should be fully implemented and so that lives will be made easy, so that persons with disability will be able to have access to our basic human rights which is right to health, right to education, right to employment and right to public infrastructures and every other thing. The series of events focus on role of language, communication in promoting inclusion, disability awareness as well as educating individuals and corporate organisations on human rights approach and best practices of driving inclusion of IDPs. Others present were taken through the process of learning sign language so as to communicate better with their children and words. I can now say that I am my girl's best friend, before when she is explaining things to me I have to call somebody that can sign and ask the person please what is she saying but now there is no need for that. Now I can sign, I can spell from ABC the alphabet and so if there is a word she is signing I don't understand I will just tell her, spell it and once she spells the word and we flow. It's a general thing I must say I just want to emphasise that if we have the right money coming in we will be able to push better however not just that we have other issues like people seeing it as this one is my own, that one is my own, people trying to tag a name to inclusion, defy for inclusion no it should not be. We all should have a way that we fight together. The SDG17 says that we have to work as partners familiar.
