Women with disabilities and their dependents, caregivers and households in the Sene West District experienced social stigma and discrimination which resulted in them not having access to some social services. Duapa Mothers Union mobilised the communities to fight stigma and discrimination using sensitisation, focus group discussions, local radio programmes and mentorship trainings for women. Portia is one of the disabled women trained. Her advocacy efforts sparked conversations around disability rights, mental health awareness and challenging stereotypes while fostering empathy. This has significantly reduced the stigma and discrimination against disabled people who are now able to engage in social activities. Also, Duapa, as an organisation has its technical capacity strengthened to carry out its mandate.

The institutional capacity of WODAO has also been strengthened to be more functional in carrying out its mandate. It is now recognised as a full-fledged user-led disability, women’s rights organisation in Ghana.
This trailer details scenes from Ghana Somubi Dwumadie's four films under the Most Significant Change Stories of our Evidence and Effectiveness (large) grantees.
Kazia is the Upper West Regional leader and a person with a mental health condition who took part in the Empowered Deaf People for Improved Mental Health Project. He, and other deaf people, gained valuable insights and knowledge about mental health and how it affects them. The project changed their perception about mental health conditions and enhanced discourses regarding how they can access treatment.
Kofi Dake became disabled through an accident in 2021. He was unable to meet the financial burden of care as he was unable to work. This led to hardships. He was stigmatised by his community and called names like “Pozzo”. Over time he felt suicidal but with the help of Inclusion Ambassadors, he was able to accept his situation. The community was sensitised to stop stigmatising him, paving the way for Kofi to engage in community activities as he explores a new career as a farmer.
Agnes was trained as an Inclusion Champion as part of the project. The position made it possible for her to travel and lobby decision-making organisations like local government services through Social Welfare, CHRAJ, and others. Her advocacy efforts have led to increased freedom of movement by people with disabilities, whose families, hitherto, kept them at home.
Wumya Napari, a woman from Sukaya in the Gushegu District of the Northern region, was forced to leave her community following witchcraft allegations. She finally reunites with her family after a decade of living at the Kpatinga Witches’ Camp.
