The hidden cost of being blind or low vision | The Front Page
There are huge inequities facing at least 183,000 New Zealanders, and nothing’s being done about it.New data from Blind Low Vision NZ reveals how blind, deafblind, and low vision New Zealanders face not only higher costs but also the emotional strain of barriers most Kiwis never encounter.
Stats NZ figures show that 58% of disabled New Zealanders earn $30,000 or less a year, compared with 33% of non-disabled people.
So, what does government need to do to make sure this community doesn’t keep falling through the cracks?
Today on The Front Page, Blind Low Vision NZ community and inclusion GM Dan Shepherd is with us to speak about his own lived experience, and how we might be able to help.
