VOICED : Tokyo dreams fuel Cambodias first disabled basketballers

In Western Cambodia, wheelchair basketball is empowering women by building confidence and camaraderie. Supported by the International Committee of the Red Cross, the team challenges societal stigma against disabilities. Players face family discouragement but find support through weekly training and physiotherapy at the Red Cross center. Nearby, a factory produces prosthetics for landmine victims, highlighting Cambodia's high amputee rates due to past conflicts. The Red Cross aims to elevate the status of disabled individuals in society, encouraging them to become advocates for disability sports. The team aspires to compete in the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics.
