MEGA LFTW 1.1 | What is the main reason Persons with Disabilities experience food insecurity?

Background

In the coming weeks we will have a new radio campaign called We Are Able!, a campaign about issues of poverty and lack of food security amongst persons with disabilities and their households.   

Many persons with disabilities and their households face challenges like lack of access to resources, information and negative attitudes, and discrimination. This influences their livelihood situation and food security. In the coming 4 polls and 2 talk shows, we will discuss these challenges and try to find solutions to improve this food security.

The first poll is about the reason behind the fact that persons with Disabilities experience food insecurity. 66% of the persons with disabilities - even though they would be able -  do not produce for themselves. Instead, many of them who could still do work despite their disability, are discouraged by their environment to take matters in their own hands. Therefore, our first poll question is:

Question:
What is the main reason Persons with Disabilities experience food insecurity?

A: They have a low self-esteem or negative attitude to work
B: They became dependent because of hand-outs and charity
C: They are excluded from essential resources like seeds and land
D: They are excluded from social networks like saving groups
