Disability Awareness

We organizes awareness events,
that highlight the rights and needs of
individuals with disabilities.

CHELD is a dedicated advocate for disability rights, inclusion, mainstreaming, research and raising awareness through events, educational campaigns and resource development.

CHELD periodically organises awareness events that spotlight the rights and needs of persons living with disabilities, aiming to foster an inclusive society that prioritises accessibility, voice and social protection.

Our initiatives include working with organisations like International IDEA to ensure that the rights and needs of persons living with disabilities are enshrined in the criminal justice system. We also release policy briefs, such as the one on glaucoma in Nigeria, and host webinars and discussions to educate the public on disability-related issues.

We also organise workshops for civil society, government agencies and other stakeholders that cater to the needs of persons with disability.

At the International level, we are currently a member of the WHO Health Equity Network
