Name: Mwanaasha Sibambo

I am a girl with a physical disability

I identify myself based on my disability. I also recognize my basic rights after

receiving various trainings while on the council for children with disabilities. And
now I am in a youth group I have received a reproductive health education and safe
menstruation. This training has helped me to take care of myself in my daily
activities, because in the beginning I grew to see menstruation as a punishment,
due to my work environment. I was employed by a female salon and my duty is to
weave girls. During menstruation period I was unable to go to work, because
toilets are not friendly, and many people misuse it. I also have to get off the
wheelchair and crawl on a ladder where there is a lot of dirt. If you succeed in
getting into trouble you will hear a knock you are delaying us.

 I am currently happy to be a woman and I am self-employed by visiting my

clients and weaving them in their home, and also getting menstruation is not
a challenge for me
 This reproductive health education has helped me to avoid early pregnancy,
and to know some of the diseases so that they can be hospitalized if they
occur.

I am a mentally handicapped girl, who recognizes my basic rights, from the various
training I received on the rights and responsibilities of the child, this training has
helped me even now I can recognize and claim my basic rights starting at the
family level. it helped me with the division of inheritance after my parents died.
We have been born 3 children of whom I am the one with a disability. Supervisor
of the division of property he is our great father. Each has been given his own
room, due to my disability my brother comes to me and beats me to give him my
money when it comes time to pay rent. I decided to file a lawsuit against him to the
local government; so far he is wanted by the police to answer the charges.

Reproductive Health and Safe Menstruation.

 When I menstruate I have severe abdominal pain thus leading to seizures

and frequent falls, I am taking painkillers to get better.
 At first I felt suffering from menstruation because I have epilepsy, any time
it came I felt embarrassed when I fell while I am menstruating.
 I now recognize myself after education and see it as a normal thing for a
woman. So I have found a way to protect myself during menstruation
without fear
