A woman living with physical impairment

At some point, I got stressed as a result of lack of support, idleness, unemployment, and I thought I was a mistake because of my impairment” she exclaims However, my life changed when Women for Change came to our camp. They conducted an awareness on gender-based violence (GBV), which enabled me to gain knowledge about GBV and how to protect myself. They also provided psychosocial support, which helped me to cope with the stress and anxiety I was feeling. In addition, they provided a wheelchair for me, which has eased my movement around the camp and made me feel more independent” she added. As a result of Women for Change's work, I am now able to participate fully in my community. “…. I can now go to the market, visit my friends, and even attend church by myself….” Added Mrs Adar. I am also able to help out with my community’s work. I feel like I am finally part of the community and grateful for Women for Change's support. However, there is still more work to be done. There are many people living with disabilities in Mayen Abun IDP camp who still need support. We need more wheelchairs, and canes for the visuals and we need more activities that will help us to participate fully in our community. I urge Women for Change to stay for more than just three months so that they can continue their important work. Your continual support will help to ensure that people living with disabilities in Mayen Abun IDP camp can live full and productive lives.
