.@SuzieAciro led a discussion on menstrual health and hygiene challenges faced by girls with disabilities after participants watched the advocacy video youtu.be/gOwMedbAgTc?si… and shared their observations & learnings from the video. #InclusiveWASH

It’s indeed great hearing from the practitioner herself from @nuwodu sharing her practical inclusive MHM practices 🙏🏾👏🏿❤️

A module on disability inclusive menstrual hygiene & management in humanitarian settings introduced participants to menarche, what girls & women need, period poverty, WASH in Schools and the compounded menstrual health challenges girls & women face in emergency situations.

The 3rd day of the #InclusiveWASH training by .@HI_EARegion kicked off with presentations on accessibility assessments of WASH facilities within the venue to enable participants understand inclusive accessibility needs, standards and usefulness of the tool.

The afternoon of the #InclusiveWASH training by .@HI_EARegion was characterised by group work in utilisation of the Twin-track Approach in inclusive WASH interventions and identifying Must Do Actions. This was spearheaded by Emmanuela from .@MalteserInt

@nuwodu launching a 3-year project on Advancing Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Social services and Decision making in Uganda that will be implemented in consortium with @NUDIPU and @albinismumbrell, funded by @DKinUganda @NLinUganda @SwedeninUG @IrlEmbUganda

After a recap of the first day of the #InclusiveWASH training by .@HI_EARegion, a deep dive into UNCRPD Art. 9 followed. Participants were educated on which WASH interventions need to be accessible, common barriers in WASH facilities, and the elements that must be accessible.

Learning a new skill for Omar was a journey for his growth towards financial independence & empowering others to pursue their passions. His passion & enthusiasm is contagious! Thanks to @NUDIPU, @nuwodu, with support from @Sightsavers for skilling the youth.

Participants were given a visual representation of the concept of intersectionality by .@HI_EARegion and the WASH related risks that rise up when different identities come together in humanitarian settings. #InclusiveWASH

James Muombamungu from .@arduganda shared the different models of disability which include the medical, charity, social and human rights model. Reminding participants that the human rights model is the best approach for disability inclusion as per the UNCRPD. #InclusiveWASH.

Nelson Bugembe from .@Twezuulef broke down the meaning of functional impact, impairment and barriers with real life examples and experiences. And the barriers Persons with Disabilities contend with including Attitudes, Accessibility, Policies and Communication. #InclusiveWASH

Martin Ssenoga from .@NUDIPU deepened participants understanding of disability, concepts, modules and the heightened risk of persons with disabilities in humanitarian situations. In situations of risk, persons with disabilities are 3x more susceptible to SGBV. #InclusiveWASH

Ajok Jennifer is a person with short stature. Her determination and resilience are truly inspiring. She was trained by the project partners under the Ayim Maber project implemented by @nudipu, @nuwodu & @Challenges_UG as tailor, a skill she didn't have.

We're championing gender inclusive programming — ensuring no one is left behind, especially women & girls with disabilities. #AIPSSDU @DKinUganda @NLinUganda @SwedeninUG @IrlEmbUganda
