MOHALE’S HOEK councilors have vowed to protect persons with disabilities who they say have been sidelined from Lesotho’s development and strategic plans.
The councilors said this during their training on gender and disability mainstreaming in Mohale’s Hoek on Thursday.
The Lesotho National Federation of Organisations of the Disabled (LNFOD) held training of councilors from five communities of Mafeteng and Mohale’s Hoek. The councilors were capacitated on gender and disability mainstreaming.
LNFOD is partnering with Diakonie Act Austria and the Austrian Development Agency among others to implement the Gender and Disability in Practice Project (GADIP). GADIP is a four-year project meant to contribute towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals; Goal 5 on gender equality and women empowerment.

MASERU-SHOULD Lesotho legalise prostitution?
That is the emotive question MPs will put to the public when they have gatherings across the country to discuss a Bill that seeks to legalise prostitution.
But even before the MPs have held a single public gathering a firestorm has ensued over the proposed law.
On one hand are groups that oppose the Bill on the basis of morality and religion.
Such people are quick to reach for the Bible or other religious book to justify their hostility to the Bill.
Among them are those who use cultural refrains to push back against the proposed law.
