My Ugandan friend said: "We come from two completely different worlds," and added flatteringly, "yet you understand me." All I could think was that I try to understand.
My friend is very wise and I let her words guide me. I know very little about life in Uganda. This blog is about my journey. What I uncover is shocking.
I come from a country that gives rights to women and the disabled. These rights were largely fought for and won before I was born. I have lived in a world where I can expect rights.
In Uganda the fight for rights for women and the disabled has only just begun.
