Let’s check out what has been going on in the #Goalball world this week!
This week the Paralympics launched its #WeThe15 campaign, with this brilliant video. The campaign aims to end discrimination towards persons with disabilities and act as a global movement publicly campaigning for disability visibility, accessibility, and inclusion.
People with disabilities make up 15% of the world’s population.
