In Uganda, many women with disabilities face significant challenges when it comes to their sexual and reproductive health. They are often ignored or overlooked because they are women, and they have disabilities. Society doesn’t always think they should have a say in their own sexual health. In today’s episode in Abakyala Tweyogerere radio program we explore the unique challenges women with disabilities encounter and discuss the changes needed to create more inclusive and supportive systems.
