 As a visually impaired person and a mother of two visually impaired children, I can say that one can actually see from the time when I was at school struggling to get a book, getting it late while other children have received their books early. To my nine-year-old daughter who's in grade three who's just started school, getting her books on time on the same day with other children. So South Africa has made a lot of progress for us Given the current text we are a bit ahead of the text because blind South Africans do read We do have the library for the blind, but we also have the daisy That ensures that blind people that can read books Don't really have to buy very expensive books But they are able to buy them in the format that they have Access to works for visually impaired people in South Africa a lot has been done already and a lot has been achieved So we're hoping that this treaty will actually come to a point where the rules of engagement between publishers and authors can change and So that authors can also become more sensitive because it's not only about governments about the authors Who needs to also change the manner in which they make their works available so that when publishers Engage authors that they engage them on different on different set of rules so that the author should give consent up front But also that the the the publishers need to begin to say unity and show that we publish your books in the right format Right from the beginning so that no one has to ask Back and forth and not have it so we we hoping that this treaty will get us there The message will be that they should not negotiate about blind people as helpless Victims, but they should negotiate for blind people as equals and Or as people that have rights and that their rights must be affirmed not as victims of charity in need of Humanitarian because they can also write but they also can read all that they need is for the book feminine to end
