According to Uganda Bureau of Statistics, 36% of female children 5-17 years with disabilities experienced physical or sexual violence. Focusing on children with deaf disability, we have produced a radio feature on why the lack of professional sign language interpreters leads to some forms of violence against the children especially in schools. This radio feature was supported by Raising Voices.
