[email protected] isability is any deficiency in the physical, mental or sensory abilities of the individual, and it takes many Dforms, such as mental, hearing or visual or physical impairment. Last week the Kuwait Society for Human Rights carried out a humanitarian activity on the occasion of the International Day of Disabled Persons, which falls on Dec 3 every year. The event included sitting in a wheelchair and touring the venue to experience firsthand the suffering of people with disabilities and live their reality and the diffi- culties they face. The importance of this activity is that it sends clear and targeted messages about the role of the community and its members towards people with disabilities that force them to use wheelchairs, and that they are no less or different. I agree with these campaigns because I believe that in Kuwait people who use wheelchairs suffer a lot, whether due to disabilities or old age, especially when moving from one place to another, as not all places are equipped with wheelchair ramps. Worse, some healthy people use the parking spaces for disabled people, or ATM machines in some local banks that are allocated for people on wheelchairs.
