STORY ABOUT OUR IMPACT

INCREASED VOICES

Increased public awareness and policy influence in favour of disability and gender inclusion through an impactful television program-Let’s Talk Ability.  This was a unique vehicle that provided the critical space for voices of the PWDs and vulnerable girls and women to be heard on issues of gender equality, equity, and inclusiveness with our award-winning flagship program. The weekly 30-minute TV talk show produced by HDMF and aired on TV3 and later on Adom TV in Ghana had a viewership of about 700,000 viewers a day. It also advocated for more positive change of attitudes towards stigma, marginalisation, and discrimination, and promoted inclusion.
