Overview
"In Wallis and Futuna, disability has long lived in the shadows. Invisible to the world, those affected were marginalized, deprived of genuine recognition and a place in society. Behind closed doors, shame and fear of judgment mingled with the pain of families convinced that a child with a disability was a curse. Today, these superstitions are gradually fading. But the wounds of the past remain, and the path to acceptance and inclusion is still long. On this archipelago, it is urgent to make up for lost time in terms of recognition, support, and dignity for every person with a disability."
