Hidden Peoples are those persons relegated to the fringes of society on account of their race, religion, social, political or other characteristics, including mental and physical disabilities. In Uganda, our focus is on 4 groups of Hidden Peoples:

(1) persons with disabilities (2) sexual and gender based violence (3) acid attacks (4) war & conflict related survivors
