African para-athletes competing at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow say the Games’ inclusive scheduling and approach are helping improve attitudes toward disability across the continent. Multiple outlets report that athletes view the visibility and integration of para-sport within the broader event programme as a positive step. They credit the inclusive nature of how para competitions are presented during the Games with encouraging wider public engagement and challenging existing stereotypes. The coverage highlights that participants are sharing their experiences from Glasgow and linking the impact of the Games to broader efforts to increase acceptance and opportunities for people with disabilities in Africa. Overall, the reporting focuses on athletes’ perspectives on how inclusivity in major international events can contribute to cultural change, rather than on specific medal outcomes or individual performances.
