Mainstream media still controls how persons with disabilities are perceived. But digital media is shifting the power. What does real representation look like? Join us on InclusiTalk as we challenge stereotypes and amplify disability-led storytelling with .@sarah_oringa and .@MugabeBigman. 11/04/2026| 8:00 PM EAT| The Disabilitylane X Space

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.

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.
