All through the world, some individuals experience the ill effects of incapacities, whether it be mental or physical. Numerous individuals feel that in the United States, there isn’t sufficient help for individuals with handicaps and that more should be possible. In any case, taking a gander at different nations plainly, America is accomplishing things that were never before envisioned, contrasted with places like Ghana and Africa. Sophie Morgan, a ladies who wound up deadened from an auto crash, ventures all finished diverse nations in Africa to perceive what it resembles to live and make due with an incapacity.
At the outset, Sophie gives an outline of life in Ghana and a foundation for what will be seen throughout the narrative. Prior to her adventure to the nation of Africa, she meets with a delegate of the Human Rights March who is mindful to report the distinctive states of individuals with incapacity and how they are dealt with. She gives a concise explanation of how the legislature isn’t completely required with the states of individuals with handicaps in Ghana and views it as the most exceedingly terrible place on the planet to be crippled. In Africa, there are 2.5 million individuals with an incapacity, and more than .5 million are restricted to camps that perform coldblooded, otherworldly ceremonies. The primary focus of Ghana is thought to be a quickly developing economy with a high populace. For a city to be on the monetary ascent there would have been an idea of assets and diverse foundations accessible to individuals with inabilities, however that isn’t the situation. In Ghana, more than 80% of the impaired populace lives underneath the neediness line, making them fall back on asking and doing light work in the city for change. The conditions could be extremely risky considering the avenues are exceedingly populated with autos going at a quick pace that the general population with handicaps regularly get harmed.
When going to the city of Ghana, she met with a man of his word named Adam, who demonstrated to her the living states of individuals with incapacities. Open transportation isn’t available to individuals with handicaps, and they were denied access to the transport when attempting to get on. The best way to get started with one place and then onto the next would be by taxi, which costs very nearly 5fivetimes the measure of transport, so it is excessively expensive. Regularly, families disregard their kids with handicaps, and living in the wide open towns are more terrible conditions than living in the city. With nowhere to stay, individuals with inabilities frequently wind up destitute and rest in the market when it is shut. These conditions are additionally unsafe on the grounds that there is no security, making individuals get assaulted at night. Sophie felt that these living conditions were wrong for individuals with incapacities, however this was just the start to a long, tragic voyage.
First and foremost, unmistakably, the legislature offered practically zero help to individuals with handicaps, yet then again, the families don’t indicate much help either. In America, we are taught and realize that inabilities stem from abandonment in the creation of the body and brain. Nonetheless, in Africa they trust that being crippled is caused from witchcraft and profound impacts, or being “reviled”. It was not hard to trust this was the faith in Africa since there is practically no instruction on the point of incapacities, however the possibility of restriction and disregard ought to be an empathetic seeing as opposed to a religious conviction. One lady, Sister Elizabeth, thought contrastingly on inabilities and built up a restoration focus that was first aided by the legislature. Indeed, even with a recovery focus opened, it is shockingly the final resort for some individuals in light of the solid social conviction of witchcraft. Numerous families at first visit places of worship, otherworldly specialists, and hallowed places in exertion for a cure. At the point when all else comes up short, they, at long last, end at the recovery focus.
It was fascinating and an impression of expectation and charm that there was a middle for individuals with incapacities to get the best possible care required. From prosthetics to x-beams and recovery programs, it opened numerous doors for individuals who had no other want to swing to, despite the fact that it ought to be the principal choice. When watching this narrative, it was difficult to comprehend at first why individuals live in these conditions. Then again, it is justifiable that this is all that these individuals know and comprehend, and in spite of the fact that it was hard not to judge the practices, you nearly need to regard their conviction.
As the narrative continued to wind up, it was relatively terrible to watch Sophie go by the supplication camps. The first she went to, which was kept running by Christian pioneers, was perfect and had many individuals who desired administrations. They tended to individuals who were visually impaired, hard of hearing, and physically incapacitated. Be that as it may, when Sophie requested to meet with patients, she was denied, which turned out to be extremely concerning. When going by, the inside kept running off a Muslim-based religion; it was, to a great degree, aggravating to watch. The living conditions were insufferable, and individuals were brought automatically to live there who were thought to have psychological maladjustments that did not exist.
Sophie went over a young lady with epilepsy who was compelled to take a homegrown prescription, which made her end up whimsical. Sophie additionally saw physical manhandling to the patients alongside a blend of homegrown pharmaceuticals and petitions as a piece of the recuperating procedure. This association requires more than 2,000 pounds for every day, which is very high pay. As the meetings went on, the most aggravating part was divulged. Sophie asked where the more youthful kids were kept. The right hand clarified that when debilitated kids are conveyed to this camp, they are dealt with for three days to one week. When they are finished with treatment, they are “sent back to where they originated from.” My first response to this was that they were sent home. After further clarification, they are sent back to the spirits; they are slaughtered.
This part was exceptionally exasperating, a direct result of the fundamental actuality that guiltless kids were being executed in view of a distortion in their body they had no power over. It is one thing for the camps to keep the general population tied up or separated, however to execute them in such a cruel way is unsatisfactory. Be that as it may, another light sparkles upon kids with incapacities when a respectable man, Mr. Borena, ensures the kids by opening up a middle for these youngsters. Despite the fact that it isn’t subsidized by the administration, he can keep the association running by raising support, gifts, and out of pocket. This association is known as the Physically Challenged Action Foundation.
In the wake of watching this narrative, there is a considerable measure that ought to be taken and must be taken in the city of Ghana. In spite of the fact that the administration knows about the continuous issues and battles of individuals with handicaps, they have done nothing. The Secretary of the National Council clarifies that there have been feelings of the interest ministers who play out the ceremonies, and furthermore, a National Disability Document to ensure people with handicaps must be upheld. From the beginning, the administration should support the recovery focuses and the Physically Challenge Action Foundation so that individuals have a place to go. Additionally, they should open up shelter-like foundations for kids who fail to be protected and tended to. At long last, the most concerning issue is the absence of instruction. In the event that individuals in Africa were instructed on handicaps and discovered that it isn’t religious, however natural, there would be fewer coldhearted practices. Sadly, there is no chance to get issues as solid as this to totally end, yet documentaries and online site pages are the initial steps for individuals in nations like America to put their foot forward and help end the harsh treatment of individuals with handicaps in remote nations.
