The men with disabilities society of Kenya is calling on the government to tailor policies that are specific to their needs and enact the ones already tabled so that their issues may be addressed.
The organization’s Chairperson Benson Isaboke lamented marginalization and discrimination in accessing jobs and other societal needs.
“We are dying within ourselves. We don’t have safe spaces where we can be able to share the challenges we are facing,” said Isaboke.
They are further pushing for safe spaces where adolescents and elderly men with disabilities can openly speak about their challenges without fear of discrimination.
They spoke as they marked the international Men`s Day in Nairobi.
