strengthening women and girls with disabilities



Who We Are
Integrated Disabled Women Activities (IDIWA)
IDIWA is an indigenous non-governmental organization established in 2000, and committed to transforming power relations through strengthening women and girls with disabilities and their formations to challenge the patriarchal system and disability-based discrimination that creates a perceived acceptable imbalance and inequality in a society. In character we are proactive and responsive, creative, grounded, consistent and reliable, and a part of the ecosystem of women’s rights, feminist and disability rights movements in Uganda and Africa. IDIWA operates nationally, with strategic presence in Eastern Uganda. This strategy seeks to help expand the organization’s reach and imprint to ensure a wider and deeper presence across the country
