Luyinda champions rights of young PWDs in sexual health
April 1, 2021 Gloria Luyinda during a presentation
Gloria Hindu Luyinda may be deaf but the 22-year-old is spearheading the inclusion of people with disabilities (PWDs) in sexual reproductive health programmes in the country, writes Ernest Jjingo.
At a March 21 peer education workshop on sexual reproductive health and rights (SRHR) at Nsambya Sharing hall, several speakers emphasized the need to involve youth in the sensitization of the population.
During the deliberations, one young lady stood out amongst the panelists for advocating for the rights of the disabled in the programme. Gloria Luyinda made her presentation using PowerPoint but the impact it had on the audience was immense.
