Opening Pathways to Training and Employment for People with Intellectual Disabilities in Africa

People with intellectual disabilities represent nearly two per cent of the world's population, or some 130 million people. Because of stigma and discrimination, a majority are excluded from education, training and employment. In this film, representatives of governments, employers, trade unions and disability advocates from East African countries, Australia and the United Kingdom examine what is possible for persons with intellectual disabilities, and persons with intellectual disabilities have an opportunity to describe what work means to them.
