鈥淪ome members will still look at you as a person who is only there to talk about disability. So every time you want to speak about a different issue, people still want to push you into the disability corner and say 鈥榯his is not your space鈥� If you鈥檙e not talking about disability you better keep quiet鈥�.鈥�

Women in politics already face a lot of challenges in Africa - with some of their male counterparts questioning their ability, criticising their clothing and telling them to stick to 鈥榳omen鈥檚 issues鈥�.

But what about if you鈥檙e a woman and deaf? Or blind? Or live with another disability?

Today, Alan Kasujja speaks with two women with disabilities who鈥檝e had success in politics 鈥� but who are still pushing to make sure they are represented at the very heart of government.

鈥淥f course I can be President! Why not?!鈥�
