Show full item recordAbstract
Emerging from a 20-year armed conflict, Uganda adopted several laws and policies to protect the rights
of people with disabilities, including their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) rights. However, the SRH rights of
people with disabilities continue to be infringed in Uganda. We explored policy actors’ perceptions of existing prodisability legislation and policy implementation, their perceptions of potential barriers experienced by people with
disabilities in accessing and using SRH services in post-conflict Northern Uganda, and their recommendations on
how to redress these inequities.
