dc.description.abstractEmerging from 20 years of armed conflict, Uganda adopted laws and policies to protect the rights of people with disabilities, including sexual and reproductive health (SRH) rights. This study reflects on the difficulty of implementing disability-focused policy in Uganda. One fifth of the country’s population was estimated to live with some disability (2008). Armed conflict between the Government and the Lord’s Resistance Army caused breakdowns in social systems, and generated widespread trauma for Northern Ugandans. An intersectionality-informed analysis enables policy makers and researchers to examine intersecting social identities and diverse sources of knowledge that can contribute to improved policy solutions.en
