On the occasion of International White Cane Day, Patrícia Polakovičová looks at everyday life for blind and partially sighted people in Slovakia. Together with Michaela Serafin and Eliška Fričovská from the Slovak Blind and Partially Sighted Union, she explores independence, road safety and the stereotypes that still surround visual impairment. The programme also offers a more personal perspective through Darina Kválová, who shares her own experience of navigating everyday life without sight.
