As the world commemorates Autism Awareness Day, Barrister Felix Nkongho Agbor Balla, founder and chairman of the Centre for Human Rights and Democracy in Africa (CHRDA), is at the forefront of the movement, advocating for the rights and inclusion of autistic children in Cameroon.
Agbor Balla emphasizes the importance of education in promoting inclusion and support for autistic children. "By learning about autism, dispelling myths, and promoting acceptance, we can create environments where these children feel valued and understood," he stresses.
Through CHRDA, Agbor Balla advocates for inclusive policies that protect the rights of people with autism and provide them with access to resources and services. He also engages with communities to break down stigma and promote acceptance of autistic children.
Supporting families of autistic children is also a crucial aspect of Agbor Balla's work. He stresses the importance of providing families with the necessary resources and services to ensure their children can thrive.
As Agbor Balla continues to lead the charge for autism awareness and inclusion, he calls on governments, organizations, and individuals to take action. "We must work together to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for autistic children in Cameroon," he urges.
