However, one of the major issue preventing girls from attending and completing education is menstruation and the stigma related to gender and disability.
Sanitary products and facilities are very under-represented in washing and development interventions, leaving half the population with unmet needs.
The taboos, myths, and barriers in Uganda and discrimination of having a disability and being female, result in unsafe, unhygienic conditions for many girls and young women.
There is a general lack of knowledge of ongoing health issues, and an atmosphere of shame which has a negative effect on the self-image and self-esteem of girls and young women in Gulu, which in turn, affect their feelings of worth.
