MESSAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Banner for International Day of Persons with Disabilities

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused devastating consequences for individuals and countries across the world. It has impacted in a significant way, more than others, persons with disabilities. The crisis has exacerbated old problems that have served to restrict and isolate persons with disabilities from mainstream society. This has been the experience for the majority of persons with disabilities in the Caribbean.
