The Minister of gender, youth, and social development Pitso Lesaoana emphasizes the importance of building an inclusive society, where everyone’s rights are recognized

This Lesaoana said during the national commemoration of the International Day of People with disability in Teyateyaneng Berea, yesterday

Minister Lesaoana reaffirmed the Ministry’s commitment to advancing disability inclusion through policies, stakeholder coordination, and strengthening the implementation of disability-related programmes

The Lesotho Federation of Organizations of the Disabled-LNFOD committed to setting a vision aligning with this year’s theme for the day, also calling for immediate action towards delivering systematic care for persons with disability

LNFOD earlier highlighted a few successes this year that include; the launch of the Advisory Council and the issuance of social grants to people with disability, although he admitted they are still not inclusive
