ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC - Eastern Caribbean countries were Tuesday urged to work towards making their societies more inclusive for children with all types of disabilities. UNICEF Representative for the Eastern Caribbean Area Khin-Sandi Lwin issued the challenge to countries to intensify efforts to fully include children with all forms of disabilities as the UNICEF Eastern Caribbean Area Office released the State of the World’s Children 2013 Report and a companion sub regional supplement which focussed on children with disabilities. “One of the main findings of this report is that children with disabilities are too often invisible in policies, programmes and in societies at large. This invisibility means that they are on the margins of society and outside of the reach of services.
