In Ziguinchor, Senegal, El Hadj Omar Diaw, president of the Patriotic and Republican Movement of People Living with Disabilities, voiced the hopes of disabled people for the full implementation of a social welfare law passed nearly ten years ago.
Diaw publicly expressed support for the President of the Republic and praised the recent inclusion of 25,000 disabled people holding equality cards into the family security scholarship program. He views this as a major step forward in supporting this community.
Despite this progress, Diaw emphasized the need for the government to publish the implementing decrees required to fully enact the law. He explained that without these decrees, disabled people continue to face daily hardship. People in Ziguinchor and associated organizations anticipate the adoption of the necessary texts by the end of the year, which they believe will lead to genuine social equity.
Diaw stated that his advocacy aims to secure the family security scholarship for all impoverished people, regardless of disability status.
