During a legal outreach at the Ntinda School for the Deaf, JHF Uganda provided free legal consultations to students, teachers, and parents. Through the session, it emerged that some students were facing serious forms of domestic and sexual violence. In response, the team conducted sensitization on the legal implications of such violations and shared reporting channels to ensure that affected individuals can seek timely support and protection.
To ensure sustained access to justice, JHF Uganda, in collaboration with the school administration, established a legal desk at the school. This platform now serves as a safe and accessible point where students, parents, and staff can receive ongoing legal guidance tailored to their needs.
In a show of mutual commitment to inclusion, the school also offered to train JHF Uganda staff in sign language at a subsidized cost—strengthening communication and deepening the organisation’s capacity to serve the persons with hearing impairment effectively.
The Headteacher expressed appreciation for the partnership, noting the positive impact of these efforts in promoting safety, awareness, and access to justice for the students.
