What does economic exclusion actually look like for womxn with disabilities in rural Uganda? We mapped out the baseline realities, and the numbers speak volumes:

🔴 85% lack access to capital, grants, or mentorship.
🟡 65% face communication barriers because Sign Language Interpretation is rarely or never available at public events.
🔵 55% experience digital access barriers, alongside a fear of online backlash.

Despite being trapped in financial “survival mode,” there is an incredibly high willingness and desire among these womxn to lead advocacy efforts and learn how to demand accountability. The will is there , the access is what’s missing. This report is our essential yardstick as we work to build a more inclusive, resilient, and economically just future.

It’s time to shift our perspective. 🔄 So often, people with disabilities are underestimated not because of a lack of skill, ambition, or intellect but because the world around them wasn’t built to let them thrive.

When buildings lack ramps, when digital content lacks captions, and when mindsets remain closed, we create the disability. Inclusion means intentionally breaking down those walls so everyone can show up as their full, authentic selves.
Let’s stop looking at what someone can’t do because of a barrier, and start fixing the barrier itself.

Underestimated UG supported by the brought together structurally and excluded Womxn with disabilities for two capacity-building sessions:

🏛️ Inclusive Leadership & Governance : covering decision-making, accountability, and transparency.

🌍 CRPD Advocacy & Gender Justice : grounding participants in disability rights principles and gender justice strategies.

Investing in our community’s leadership is how we create lasting change. 💪

At Underestimated UG, we believe that the womxn pushed to the margins hold the power to transform their communities and our job is to make sure nothing stands in their way.

Inclusion means more than opening a door. It means dismantling the barriers that kept it locked. It means resources reaching the womxn who need them most. It means grassroots voices shaping the systems that govern their lives.

Every day, we work with marginalized womxn across Uganda in advocacy, in access to essential services, and in development programs designed with them, not just for them.

Because a community that leaves anyone behind isn’t truly whole. 🌍

If you believe every womxn deserves to be seen, heard, and supported follow our journey and share this post. Together, we build an Uganda where no one is underestimated .

Too many talented people are kept out of leadership because of who they are , not what they can do. At Underestimated UG, we’re changing that narrative.

Inclusive leadership means:
✅ Listening to voices that have been silenced
✅ Sharing power, not hoarding it
✅ Building teams that reflect the communities we serve

You belong at the table. And if there’s no seat, we build a bigger one together.

Nobody talks about how exhausting it is to pretend you’re okay. 💚

This May Mental Health Awareness Month Underestimated UG is creating space for honest conversations about mental health.

✅You don’t have to be “strong” all the time.
✅You don’t have to suffer in silence.
✅You are allowed to ask for help.

To anyone who’s been told their struggles aren’t valid we see you. We hear you. And we’re here. 🫂

Disability inclusion is more than just a checklist or a ramp at the door. It’s about shift in perspective. 🧠✨
It means:

✅Valuing diverse perspectives.
✅ Removing physical and digital barriers.
✅ Ensuring everyone has an equal seat at the table.

When we design for all bodies and minds, the entire community thrives. Let’s make inclusion the standard, not the exception. 🙌 ♿️
