Disability Inclusion
THE CHALLENGE;
Disability stigma which leads to low participation in
school life by children with disabilities (seeing, hearing,
mobility, communicating, comprehending, learning,
building relationships and playing). These factors predict
dropping out of school. 20% of children affected have
dropped out.
Menstrual stigma experienced by rural schoolgirls.
Festering myths and poverty put girls at high risk of sexual
abuse, infections, and pregnancy. 90% of girls in Kamuli
district, lack lean absorbents for menstruation.
