Description

“Disability does not mean inabilityÀ. This term has been coined to show that even people with disabilities are capable of undertaking tasks that are normally viewed as being only achieved by able bodied people. The norm in society is to see blind people begging for assistance at every street corner. However, with the increased social and economic hardships they have now turned to more unconventional and high risk methods of survival. This article is a classic case of this once able bodied now visually impaired woman who has decided that she will put her body on the market for those sex crazy predators who seek fulfilment outside the home just as she did whilst she had her vision.
