In Rwanda:
Where traditional perceptions meet global views. Evolving attitudes to disability in Rwanda, from precolonial times to today:
“International efforts on disability inclusion in Rwanda have too often ignored our indigenous traditions. Like in other African countries, treatment of community members with disabilities is an intertwined outcome of inherent social beliefs, practices of the colonial era, and the right-based models championed by activists in disability movements that came out of our newly-inclusive schools.” (Sep, Disability Debrief)
In South Africa:
Returning the gaze: Using art to transform representations of people with albinism:
“But while I grew up with little to no constructive representation of people with albinism, now that I am older, I am able to challenge that. Through a journey into arts and activism, I use images to challenge damaging portrayals, reclaim agency, and offer humanising depictions of people with albinism.” (Sep, Disability Debrief)
