WOMEN WITH DISABILITIES IN KWALE CALL FOR INCLUSION IN HEALTH SECTOR

Women with disabilities in Kwale County have urged both the national and county governments to ensure their inclusion in the health sector by employing some of them as community health workers. They say such a move would provide opportunities for meaningful participation while addressing gaps in healthcare delivery at the grassroots level. According to the group, integrating women with disabilities into health services would help combat stigma and discrimination, especially when they seek maternal and reproductive healthcare. Many reported facing challenges in accessing quality health and education services, citing inadequate support at the community level. The advocates are calling for targeted policies and recruitment programs to empower women with disabilities, emphasizing that their participation in the health sector would not only create employment but also improve service delivery for marginalized communities.
