The National Disability Council of Namibia is calling for an end to discrimination against people with disabilities.

The council this week launched its new logo during the commemoration of National Disability Day at Otjiwarongo.

The commemoration of National Disability Day began with the African Union Commission's 35th session on its 'Continental Plan of Action for the African Decade Plan of Persons with Disabilities'.

It is meant to increase awareness and understanding of disability issues.

People with disabilities still face discrimination though efforts are being put in place to educate people on disability matters. 

The National Disability Council of Namibia also launched its new logo. The  two hands on it represents care for each other.

This year's National Disability Day was hosted under the theme Finding Innovative Solutions to Assistive Device Challenges  Faced by Persons with Disabilities
