Our affiliate organization the Women’s Refugee Commission recently posted a thought-provoking piece on their blog, illustrating the challenges and needs faced by people with disabilities in the aftermath of January’s devastating earthquake. Visit the Women’s Refugee Commission blog to read the stories of Loufin, a single mother of three who has been wheelchair-bound since the earthquake, and nine year-old Mara, who walks with difficulty after losing her leg in the quake.
