International day of deafblindness, the story of Francis: “More rights because we don’t want to feel ‘different'”

“I have felt discriminated against many times, and for the most diverse reasons. Often, however, not so much because of the lack of laws, but because of ignorance and the lack of an inclusive culture in people”. To speak is Francesco Mercurio, blind from birth and deaf from the age of ten. Today he is President of the Committee of Deafblind People of the Lega del Filo d’Oro Foundation.
