F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Hi Punam,

I work with communities. My personal experience is that teaching, training on gender and raising awareness has very limited results.

We have to hold the space and encourage adolescents to take action. An approach which focuses on strengths called SALT has been very effective in motivating people to change the way they operate.  Read more https://www.communitylifecompetence.org/
