I used to walk, play football, walk long distances and enjoy life but all those became luxury when I became disabled. Stigma set in early and started to manifest in its various forms.\u201d<br \/>\n9.  Close up shot, hand holding crutches then panning shot to the face<br \/>\n10. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, Chairperson of the Somali National Disability Council<br \/>\n\u201cYou may have your money, you visit a shop to buy something and shop owner hands you few Somali shillings with the notion that you came to beg. It pains me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>11. Med shot, Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, talking<br \/>\n12. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, Chairperson of the Somali National Disability Council<br \/>\n\u201cMy disability hinders my economic, social, education progression and participation in politics because there is no specific law for disabled people. The stigma against PWD is so entrenched that it will take a long time to be eradicated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>13. Med shot, Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, talking<br \/>\n14. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, Chairperson of the Somali National Disability Council<br \/>\n\u201cPeople living with disabilities (in Somalia) have the same rights as the rest of the people. We deserve extra and special care, we require specialised equipment, health care, access to education. My goal is to help them realise their rights just like the rest of the disabled people in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>15. Wide shot, Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, talking<br \/>\n16. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad, Chairperson of the Somali National Disability Council<br \/>\n\u201cDo not quit. Come out of your homes, champion for your rights since you are part of the citizens. Come out to learn, look for jobs, be part of the electoral reforms taking place, the constitution and participate in the advocacy to nationalise special education for the disabled people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>17. SOUNDBITE: (English) Sayid-Ali Abdullah Salad, Chairperson of Somali National Disability Council<br \/>\n\u201cTo parents, do not favor one child over another. Don\u2019t confine the disabled child to the house. They are the same. The disabled one may even be more hardworking than the rest of your kids.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>18. Wide shot, Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad walking away, after the interview<\/p>\n<p>Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad: A champion for the rights of persons living with disabilities<\/p>\n<p>Sayid-Ali Abdullahi Salad vividly remembers the fateful day at the height of the civil war in Somalia in 1997 when his life was changed forever \u2013 a seemingly routine meeting to resolve a dispute erupted into violence that almost cost the volunteer peace mediator his life.<\/p>\n<p>Together with other peace activists, Sayid-Ali, then a student at the Somali National University, had accompanied a traditional elder to Wadajir district in the capital city of Mogadishu to help mediate between two warring clans. They were looking forward to a positive outcome, but in the middle of the negotiations, tensions suddenly escalated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThings ended up in disarray. One of the groups became hostile and opened fire. The first round of bullets hit my right leg and shattered the bone,\u201d Sayid-Ali, now 41 years of age, recalls.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>STORY: Sayid-Ali Abdullah Salad: A champion fighting for the rights of persons living with disabilities TRT: 4:57 SOURCE: UNSOM PUBLIC [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":1057,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1056","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 -
