As part of The Slum Period Project, Period Talk Uganda conducted a pilot study in Katanga to explore the menstrual health experiences of persons with disabilities living in an underserved community. The research was carried out through collaboration between Period Talk Uganda’s research teams in Uganda and the United Kingdom, combining local engagement with international research expertise.
The study engaged persons with disabilities to better understand the barriers they face in accessing menstrual health information, products and support. By documenting lived experiences and identifying gaps in existing services, the pilot generated insights that continue to inform Period Talk Uganda’s commitment to more inclusive and accessible menstrual health programming.
