“Many PWA are dying of cancer, therefore, more needs to be done. If we talk about access to health, we request for more research to be done to identify the causes of skin cancer & treatments more accessible,” @EstherKyozira, ED @NUDIPU at #IAAD26 in Kamuli.
Today, we stand in solidarity with persons with albinism and condemn all forms of discrimination, stigma, & marginalization. Let us value people for their character, talents, & contributions not the color of their skin.
⏳ ⏳ 1 Day to #IAAD2026

We shall be proudly in our skin, celebrating all skin tones as we raise awareness on albinism-related issues.
At the Inclusive Africa Conference in Nairobi, @NUDIPU highlighted Uganda's progress in promoting digital accessibility through inclusive ICT policies, digital literacy initiatives, and assistive technology access. Yet, accessibility gaps and affordability barriers remain.
People with Disabilities (PWDs) are often excluded from key sectors of society. Too many still view them as individuals who cannot contribute meaningfully, but this harmful narrative must change. True inclusion means actively involving PWDs in decision-making processes and ensuring their voices and perspectives are heard and valued.
If we continue to neglect their rights and needs, we risk building a society that marginalizes and resents people with disabilities rather than empowering them.
Specific call to action.
Access to menstrual health services and products must be prioritized for women and girls with disabilities. This includes providing accessible facilities, appropriate information in accessible formats, and tailored support to address their unique needs. Menstrual equity is a fundamental right no one should be left behind.
