We should come up with a building code as a minimum and accessible standard for public buildings. This is something that should have been done sometimes back. That is because 50 years down the line, we are still struggling with making laws that seem to discriminate sections of the population. Therefore, that should be entrenched in the law. The bodies or agencies which are concerned with construction should ensure that buildings are made to the standard of accessibility by people living with disabilities."}
