Paralympics should put disability back on global agenda, says IPC chief

International Paralympic Committee (IPC) president Andrew Parsons believes the Games, which follow the Olympics and open in 100 days' time on August 28, "will have a big impact on how people with disability are perceived around the world". "This is one of the key expectations we have around Paris 2024; we believe that we need people with disability to be put back on the global agenda," Parsons told AFP in an interview. He says disability has fallen behind issues such as gender identity in recent years.
