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.
