Disabled see no change in their lives

Currently about 2.7 percent of Afghans are disabled

Afghanistan joined the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, but disabled people claim there has been no positive change in their lives.
The disabled want work opportunities, vocational training, and a higher monthly salary from the government, saying 650 afghanis a month could not solve their problems. The disabled currently receive a benefit of 400 afghanis (about $8.50) a month from the government.
Currently about 2.7 percent of Afghans are disabled, and this stratum of society is urging the government to find a way for them to be self-sufficient and independent.
