The covid-19 pandemic has impacted the lives of people globally, posing a major threat to the economic and social fabric of society. The differently able women in the Gambia were among the people hard hit by the pandemic. These women complained that they were marginalized by the State following the advent of coronavirus in the country.
Isatou Sonko, a differently-abled woman and a beggar at the Bertil Harding Highway, said covid-19 has a negative impact on her livelihood and her family.
She said when covid-19 hit the country and curfew and state of emergency ensued, life became tough for her and her family.
