Botswana: Exploring overlapping realities of the LGBTIQ community and disability

The story explores the intersection between LGBTIQ identities and disability in Botswana, highlighting how individuals who occupy both identities experience discrimination, access to rights, mental health challenges, and social acceptance. Through interviews with advocacy organisations, mental health experts, parents, and individuals with lived experience, the piece brings visibility to a largely underreported issue. 

The angle focuses on overlapping identities and inclusive human rights advocacy, linking mental health, family perspectives, and policy gaps. By centring intersectionality, the story adds value to public discourse and encourages more holistic, inclusive approaches to policy, advocacy, and media coverage.
