Outside Source

Available for over a year

Philippine woman Nancy Boroc was born with no lower legs. She was barred from entering a local government office for not adhering to their dress code - by wearing shorts instead of trousers. She says that disabled people are not fully accepted in the Philippines and that some even crossed the road to avoid her. (Photo: Nancy Boroc. Credit: Nancy Boroc)
