"Children with special needs and young mothers are among the most excluded from pre-primary education in Uganda. Many go straight to primary school without early learning support. Government schools also lack special needs aides on payroll. It is time for government to invest in inclusive pre-primary education and protect every child’s right to learn." - @bobnkwangu, Executive Director, (@UNADeaf) @Educ_SportsUg #ECCEPolicy2025 #RightToEducation

@IdiwaNgo Absolutely agree! Women and girls with disabilities face unique challenges, but together we can create a more inclusive world. Let's amplify their voices and work towards equal opportunities for all #ZeroDiscriminationDay #InclusionMatters

Double discrimination against #WomenAndGirlsWithDisabilities is real- but so is our collective power to end it. This #ZeroDiscriminationDay, we speak up, challenge bias, and choose inclusion in every sphere of life. #InclusionMatters
