Description:
Our community event raises awareness about hearing disability stigma using African drama and poetry.
Two dramas highlight the impact of stigma: one portrays a girl driven to suicide, while the other showcases a girl who thrives with community support. Poetries in the local language convey hope. A dialogue with policymakers explores anti-stigma measures, followed by free ear checkups and discussions on hearing care using WHO materials in the local language, ensuring accessibility for all.
