HIV/AIDS, Rape, and Sexual Violence Threatens the Lives of the Disabled in Kenya Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION

Disability is certainly not inability and many across the globe have proven that. Names such as Hellen Keller, Timothy Wetangula, Wickliffe Anyanzwa and Henry Wanyoike have become household names not only in Kenya and Africa, but also across the world. Hellen Keller, despite being visually impaired, was able to pioneer Braille and other resourceful applications for use by people under the same circumstances. Timothy Wetangula on the other hand is a luminary Kenyan lawyer with regional recognition while Wickliffe Anyanzwa is a renowned for his mechanical engineering prowess and rights advocacy despite his physical handicap. For Henry Wanyoike, visual impairment has not been a deterrence to earning multiple gold and other medals in international marathons and races.

Thus, it is time Kenyan and other governments in Africa recognized the contribution of the disabled to their economies. This they can do by providing an enabling environment for their growth and development through the elimination of discriminatory policies, enacting laws, which would protect them from harassment and abuse and also empowering them socially and economically just like the general community. It is only then that their economies will experience the benefits of all inclusiveness, a rare gem without which better living standards and economic progress would just be but social and fiscal pipe dreams for the Kenyan, African and developing world countries at that.

TakingITGlobal has never been more apt than it is now in providing a forum for expression. This is because the dynamic world has undeveloped challenges that pose a great problem to the growth and daily life of any youth in the global society. What with the incessant wars, poverty, HIV/AIDS, pornography, racism and several other vices creeping into the society in a culture best objectified as vicious gradualism.
Here is where writing comes in handy and the TakingITGlobal literati, glitterati and pundits alike have provided a vital conduit through which these vices, positive and negative dynamism can be expressed.
I am saddened for example, when a promising youth is reduced to a hopeless parasite by drugs. More saddening is when I see the mercilessness, the hopelessness, the dereliction, the lack of love that many children, youth and people are subjected to due to wars, poverty, pornography and such as other negativities which silently and slowly kill the spirit and will within humans! Having gone through such experiences myself, I pray that God gives me the massive ability to be able to help these people to the best of my ability with His guidance, provision and protection. I have often wondered whether the expression "do unto others what you would have them do unto you" is being subjected to relativity. These are the problems which need highlighting and what better forum is there than TakingITGlobal.
I am privileged to be part of this ideologically vimmed and gustoed community.
