About This Session

Nigerian media still commonly portrays persons with disabilities through narratives of pity, tragedy, or charity. These depictions attract attention but reinforce exclusion. TVC Communications aims to shift this narrative by advancing a rights-based, inclusive, and empowerment-driven approach to reporting. This joint panel at AbilityX 2025 brings this organisation in to champion a new media framework that normalises inclusion, amplifies agency, and influences systemic reform across Nigeria’s media ecosystem.
