I was speechless when I stumbled upon this video titled "Ghana: Abuse of People with Disabilities" uploaded on YouTube by Human Rights Watch. It reflected on the attitudes towards people with disabilities in Ghana. According to the video "People with mental disabilities suffer severe abuses in psychiatric institutions and spiritual healing centers in Ghana. The Ghanaian government has done little to combat such abuse or to ensure that these people can live in the community, as is their right under international law. "

Watch the video below and share your thought!
