The Association of disabled Females International (ADFI) in collaboration with other disabled organizations is calling on President George Weah to ensure that Persons with disabilities (PwDs) are empowered during his administration. Speaking at a one-day workshop on Inclusion and Empowerment of persons with disabilities within the government, the Executive Director of the group, Meima Hoff Bettie said her group is advocating for the rights of women living with disabilities in Liberia. Madam Bettie is at the same time urging President George Weah to give back power to those who elected him, mostly the disabled community. The Association of disabled Females International boss added that people living with disabilities are also depending on the government to see how best it can help in changing their stories. The NUOD’s boss wants President Weah to allow them choose someone they trust to be the head for the National Commission for Disabilities (NCD).
