Despite Uganda's progress in addressing girls' and boys' vulnerability to sexual and education rights, girls with disabilities are still facing challenges. These girls face sexual violations, denied education, lack scholastic materials and negative community perceptions. This has worsened with the coming of COVID 19. By September 2020 we had 10 cases of sexual abuse and many girls with disabilities most likely not to go back to school when education resumes normally
