This book examines the lived experiences of people with disabilities in Sierra Leone, focusing on the social stigma, marginalization, and systemic neglect they face in the aftermath of conflict and poverty. It explores barriers to healthcare, education, employment, and community participation, while highlighting the resilience and advocacy efforts of disability communities and local organizations. The work also analyzes national policies, legal protections, and international support initiatives aimed at improving inclusion and human rights conditions.
