Ghana: Sirina Mahamadu on life for Persons With Disabilities

Sirina Mahamadu is a minority rights activist from Ghana and National Vice President of the Ghana Federation of Persons with Disability Organizations (GFD). She was among activists and journalists who converged in Senegal recently for a review meeting of the Engaging Media and Minorities to Act for Peacebuilding (EMMAP). Ms Mahamadu spoke to ManoReporters on the sidelines of the confab held at the Residence Feto in Dakar on life as a disabled person in Ghana, how media coverage shapes the experiences of PWDs and what minority communities expect from governments and society at large to make life normal for them.
