12 December, 2020, 8:30 pm Social protection plays a key role in realizing the rights of persons with disabilities of all ages: providing them with an adequate standard of living, a basic level of income security; thus reducing levels of poverty and vulnerability. Picture: https://socialprotection-humanrights.org MY name is Leslie Tikotikoca, and I am a young man living with disability. I acquired my disability at the age of 13 years when I got into an accident, whereby my right leg was amputated. Growing up through the years, I have noticed how few opportunities and programs are accessible for us youths living with disabilities.
