Mpigi Women with Disabilities Association

Healthcare must work for #women & #girls with #disabilities. That means accessible consent, sign language interpreters, and easy-to-read info so informed choices are possible. #Inclusion isn’t optional—it’s a right.

Happy Womens Days. Women and girls with disabilities should equally access justice.

Happy Womens day to all women and girls around the world. Access to justice is a right.

Our #GEDC partners have begun speaking to girls they serve about education, life skills, sexual and reproductive health, and climate change. This #DataSprint will ensure girls’ voices are heard, and allow the participating organizations to use the data to shape future programs.

Yesterday, we carried out our first community outreach for women and girls with disabilities in Buyinga B following the #WalkForHerFlow. The funds raised during the walk are helping us provide sanitary products and menstrual health education to women and girls in hard-to-reach communities. Reaching Buyinga B meant crossing to the island by boat, a reminder of how important it is to extend support to places that are often overlooked. At St. Martin Buyinga Primary School, we held a menstrual health session with 60 girls, focusing on hygiene, confidence, and dignity. After the session, each girl received a #SafeGirl Kit to help them manage their periods safely and with confidence. We also engaged the wider community through a sensitization session attended by 60 women and 20 men. Together, we discussed menstrual health awareness, supporting girls and women with disabilities, and the role communities play in breaking the stigma around menstruation. This outreach is an important step in making sure that no girl or woman is left behind, especially those living with disabilities in remote communities. We are grateful to everyone who supported the #WalkForHerFlow. Your support is already making a real difference in the lives of women and girls.

@MoreenNambalir1 @NUDIPU It is so disappointing to hear a full Member of Parliament talk like Allan Sewanyana Allan about disability. He needs to be oriented to make him understand that there is Ability in Disability. Akyali mabega nyo bambi..

Hon Allan, its deeply disappointing to hear you demean another candidate because of his disability. Leadership should be measured by integrity, competence and vision not physical ability. Discrimination has no place in our democracy. #Disability is not inability. @NUDIPU

A total number 27 learners with Special Needs in Mpigi District recieved success cards to motivate them and boost thier confidence as they write their Primary Leaving Examinations. MPWDA is promoting education to keep girls in school to prevent child marriage. #GirlsFirstFund

We held community meetings at Buyiga Island to encourage communities value girls rights and support their education. We educated the community members on the harmful effects of child marriage. #GirlsFirstFund #unitedforgirls

Every day, little people enter a world not built for them. Audit your home/office space. Let's build spaces where everyone thrives! #DwarfismAwarenessMonth

Our own Habibah undergone an orthopedic surgery and is now recovering. We thank you so much all the partners who made the operation possible. Everything should be done to keep girls in school to prevent them from teenage pregnancies and child marriage. #GirlsFirstFund
