IDIWA was established in 2000 by women of different disability categories including physical, sensory and intellectual disabilities, on realization that Women with Disabilities (WWDs) face double discrimination on account of their gender and disability. The organisation was awarded a renewal grant to consolidate the results achieved in the first phase of the project by mobilising and empowering women and girls with disabilities (WGDs) to demand for employment opportunities, and monitor the implementation of the Mayuge District Local Government Persons with Disabilities Ordinance, 2019.
