In this powerful episode of "Surviving Reality" on Armed Forces Radio 107.7 FM Abuja, ROTDINNAH FOUNDATION's Executive Director Mrs. Susan Rotdi George, alongside Project Manager JumMai Buba and the Women Leader of the Abuja Association of Deaf Women, engaged in an in-depth conversation about the fundamental rights of persons living with disabilities. The discussion covered the Discrimination Against Persons with Disabilities (Prohibition Act) 2018, rights to accessible public spaces, free education, employment opportunities, healthcare access, and the real challenges persons with disabilities face — including stigma, communication barriers, and lack of information. The episode highlighted the Foundation's ongoing efforts to amplify the voices of persons with disabilities and create pathways to independence, dignity, and self-determination.
