UNICEF campaign calls for inclusion of children with disabilities
By Yao Yuxin
UNICEF China launched a nationwide campaign on Friday to draw attention to the barriers faced by children with disabilities and promote their greater inclusion in schools, health centers and communities.
The campaign, Childhood, Without Barriers, was launched in partnership with the China Commission for Promotion of Publicity for the Undertakings of Chinese Disabled Persons, under the leadership of the China Disabled Persons' Federation.
According to UNICEF, nearly 240 million children worldwide — at least five million of them in China — live with disabilities. Many children with disabilities in China study in separate special education facilities, while most of the abandoned children living in institutions have disabilities.
