The Gender, Children and Social Protection Ministry is putting together a database of persons with disability to enable the ministry facilitate the employment of persons under the group.
Due to their physical disability, such persons are marginalized in society and even the educated amongst them find it difficult to secure decent jobs even though they are qualified for them.
Launching the Ghana Literacy Training Programme for the Deaf in Accra Thursday, Deputy Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection, Mrs. Della Sowah stressed that “Government takes seriously, issues of disability and it is doing all within its powers to make life comfortable for them”.
She therefore noted, “To this end, the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection is working hard to ensure more effective appreciation and inclusion of disability issues in national discourse. We believe this will eliminate stigma and enhance effective integration of persons with disability into the society.” see more at http://www.myjoyonline.com/business/2015/February-14th/employment-ministry-to-create-data-for-persons-with-disability.php
