<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>In a groundbreaking initiative aimed at combating the stigma surrounding disability, Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah, an independent parliamentary candidate for New Juaben North in the Eastern Region, has pledged to offer rent-free accommodation to able-bodied individuals who marry persons with disabilities.</strong></p>



<p>Mr. Yeboah, an internationally recognized athlete and advocate for disability rights, made this announcement during a recent parliamentary dialogue hosted by the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE). </p>



<p>He emphasized that this initiative seeks to dismantle long-standing societal stigmas and empower persons with disabilities in marriage and social participation.</p>

<p>&#8220;Many persons with disabilities struggle to find partners due to stigma,&#8221; Yeboah stated. &#8220;For decades, families and friends discouraged able-bodied individuals from marrying persons with disabilities. This perception must end. Marrying a person with a disability does not imply that your children will inherit any disability. Therefore, I will provide rent-free housing to any able-bodied person who marries a person with a disability and create job opportunities for them, enabling them to care for their families.&#8221;</p>



<p>Beyond this initiative, he outlined other plans to boost job creation and support agricultural development within New Juaben North, emphasizing his commitment to inclusive community development.</p>
