Children with disabilities are rarely asked directly about their thoughts, feelings, and desires. In Africa, surveys that capture their voices firsthand are scarce, making their perspectives largely unheard in research and decision-making. This report presents the findings of a survey conducted to understand the priorities and experiences of children with disabilities in East and Southern Africa regarding their human rights. This survey aimed to provide valuable insights into the challenges and barriers these children face and their needs and aspirations for a better world. By highlighting their voices, the report seeks to inform policy and programme development to better support the realisation of the rights of children with disabilities across the continent.
