Being blind 'was an opportunity for me'

Yetnebersh Nigussie lost her sight at the age of five in Ethiopia. But instead of seeing it as a loss, she says it actually gave her the opportunity to go to school and change her life. Now the lawyer and disability rights campaigner is being recognised by the World Economic Forum as one of their Young Global Leaders for 2020.
