Disability Inclusion.

Kabwe District’s according to the CSO 2010 Population Census is estimated at 176,758 with the majority of the population being women and young people. Kabwe used to be a flourishing mine town but with the closure of the mines and major supporting industries has left many people out of employment. The high levels of lead contamination , poverty, unemployment, inadequate recreation facilities, lack of enough facilities for people with disabilities , lawless has led to many Disabled People , women and Young people to engage in activities which put their lives at risk that is stealing , Teenage Pregnancies , Early marriages , contracting HIV/AIDS , Dropping out of School , Substance Abuse , STIs. Excessive beer drinking, prostitution and having multiple partners are very common among Women / Girls and Young people in Kabwe. Although there are a number of awareness programs by the government, NGOs and the media, it has not led to the required reduction of Teenage Pregnancies , Early marriages , Gender based Violence , Adhering to Safeguarding and Protection Policies , Increasing employment opportunities amongst Women , Girls and Young people in Kabwe, it is also evident that information about HIV/AIDS on its own has not lead to people adopting behavior’s that do not lead Women , Girls and Young people contracting the virus. More efforts, therefore, need to be put into prevention programs and practical skills.
