Abstract

Discrimination and inequality between the abled and disabled has been a problem that attracted the attention of literary authors, legislators and international institutions. The United Nations had specified seventeen goals for Sustainable Development where the tenth one was “Reduced Inequalities". This goal along with the previously held convention for persons with Disabilities in 2006 aim basically at guaranteeing the prevalence of equality between the abled and disabled and at promoting technology to serve the disabled in transportation, health and education. Story-telling is one of the vital methods by which the difficulties in the life of the disabled can find an echo. Children Literature is a rich field and perhaps the most effective genre in raising the voice of the disabled. The African author Meshak Asare wrote his prizes-winning children story Sosu's Call to show both the negative and positive attitudes of treating the disabled. The paper is an interdisciplinary study covering the influence of literature, society and technology on the life of the disabled.
