Africa is one of the least developed continents with a larger population of people living with intellectual disability. Various literature shows that having a person with disability is more of a taboo or curse as communities continue to hide them. Infrastructure developments are not making life easier for people living with disability (PWD). During COVID-19, PWD are left behind from communications, online learning, and online business; they are not given personal protective equipment, and those are some of the things that continue to cripple the rights of PWD who continuously feel left behind.

不遗余力:非洲COVID-19期间的智障
非洲是最不发达的大陆之一,拥有大量的智障人士。各种文献表明,随着社区继续将残疾人隐藏起来,使残疾人成为一种忌讳或诅咒。基础设施的发展并没有使残疾人的生活变得更轻松。在COVID-19期间,PWD在通讯,在线学习和在线业务方面处于落后状态;他们没有得到个人防护设备,而其中的某些东西继续削弱了残疾人的权利,而残疾人却总是感到被抛在后面。
