Caritas Freetown, with joint support from Trocaire, and the UNPBF project through C.R.S. are partnering with the Ministry of Social Welfare and collaborating with Partners of Disability to commemorate the International Day of Persons with Disabilities 2023. The event took place at the Miatta Conference Centre Car Park, Youyi Building, Freetown, with live TV media coverage. Adopting the global theme of “United in Action to Rescue and Achieve the Sustainable Development Goals for and with Persons with Disabilities,” the localized theme for this commemoration is “Employment and Economic Justice for the fulfilment of the Big Five Game Changers for Persons with Disability.” The event aims to advocate for inclusive employment opportunities and economic justice to empower persons with disabilities in Sierra Leone. Caritas Freetown has been supporting persons with disabilities (PWDs) through its work and various projects to promote their social status and livelihood. At the end of the event, the PWDs showcased their various talents to the attendees.
