Liberia’s House of Representatives is considering landmark legislation aimed at strengthening the rights of persons living with disabilities. The proposed bill seeks to promote inclusion, protection, and empowerment for a community long faced with social and structural barriers.

If passed, the law would address challenges in employment, education, and access to essential social services, creating clearer pathways toward independence and dignity. Lawmakers say the initiative reflects a broader commitment to advancing equal opportunities for all Liberians.

Observers note that the move could position Liberia as a regional example in disability rights, setting new standards for inclusion and human rights protections across West Africa.
