Daniela is 17 years old and lives in Moldova. She was born with a CP injury. If she had been born 20 years earlier, she would probably have been taken from her family and raised in isolation in an institution. Now she is instead preparing for graduation. Despite that, Daniela has not always had it easy. There is a lot of ignorance and prejudice against people with disabilities in Moldovan society.
