Ivory Coast fights stigma with beauty pageant for disabled

Cheered on by the audience, a young woman walks onstage in a glittering gown, beaming as she addresses the jury. But this is no ordinary beauty contest all 10 contestants are disabled. One partially sighted contestant is accompanied by a guide, another uses a crutch while a third sashays in wearing orthopaedic shoes, one with a 15-centimetre raised sole.
