Interesting...many of us didn't even know the categories of disabilities. There's still a lot to learn clearly.#16Days

"Uganda's constitution only recognises nine disabilities. This leaves out a lot of visible and invisible disabilities and we must rethink our inclusion policies" - Betty Achana, NOWUDU

"Handling issues to do with pregnancies require us to ensure that all interventions are inclusive. This means being intentional about things like sign language, braille etc. Disability does not mean having limitations to these children's rights" -Betty Achana, NUWODU

COVID-19 has resulted in an increased rate of teenage pregnancy.
In order to gain basic necessities like sanitary towels, girls have engaged in transactional sex with men who take advantage of their need for money

Very true. Let's pray the national policies allow them to return to school

@WorldVisionUg @Mglsd_UG Woow, that's a huge percentage. We should do all we can to protect them

[World Vision Uganda @WorldVisionUg]

Children make up 65% of the refugee population in Uganda. They are also the most vulnerable to abuse. Read how we work with passionate community members like Michael to promote positive parenting

You would think the most dangerous disease in the world is malaria or even COVID19 today but you could be wrong. #CarolNamutebi says Violence against children is the most dangerous disease killing in the short and long term #IttakesAworld #Solutionsummit

[Mary Atuheire @pinketmary]

The violent cultural practices we see are influenced mainly by our cultural and spiritual beliefs. Getting cultural & faith leaders involved in these conversations is a huge step in fighting violence against children.

During the cultural and faith leaders dialogue today, it has been discussed that one of the reasons leading to increase of violence against children in this time is a lack of access to basic needs.

Mr.Mondo Kyateka, Commissioner for children, @Mglsd_UG, moderates the panel at the dialogue.
