Abstract

This paper sets out to examine the right of visual impaired persons under Cameroonian law. Visual impaired persons have fundamental human rights like any citizen without disabilities. Considering their physical impairment, they equally enjoyed special rights. These rights have been embedded in different pieces of legal instruments. However, they are marginalised and discriminated in our society today. As a result of this, there is need to protect these rights which have been guaranteed under the different pieces of international, regional, and national legal instruments. The findings of this paper revealed that the appropriation of these rights have been ineffective because of the weaknesses of the laws, infrastructural challenges, and the attitude of the community towards them. It is therefore recommended that the various stakeholders and the community at large takes conscious actions in promoting their rights.
