Today, TSOGOLO LOWALA DEAF FOUNDATION (TSOGOLA) concluded it's participation in the African Feminist Forum 2026 held at Movenpick, Windhoek, Namibia. The Forum aimed at affirming the African Feminist Charter's commitments towards cross-cutting issues on political, economic liberations.

TSOGOLA, with funding from African Women's Development Fund through Urgent Action Fund-Africa, joined disability Feminists at the forum.

TSOGOLA raised a significant issue on enhancing the feminist movement through disability inclusion so that no one is left behind. While the feminist movement moves towards inclusion, there is significantly more work to be done by disability Feminists because disability continues to be viewed as a cross-cutting issue rather than as a key strategic tool for fostering change.

Have you ever wondered why Marc Cucurella never ties his famous curly hair during matches? The reason has touched the hearts of football fans around the world.
For most people, Marc Cucurella's long hair is simply his signature look. But for the Spain defender, it carries a much deeper meaning. He has shared that he keeps his hair loose because his eldest son, Mateo, who has autism, uses it to easily recognize him on the football field and during television broadcasts.

Cucurella and his partner, Claudia Rodriguez, have spoken openly about their family's journey after noticing early signs that Mateo was developing differently. They spent years searching for answers, finding the right diagnosis, and making sure he received the support, education, and therapy he needed. By sharing their experience, they hope to raise awareness and help other families recognize the early signs of autism.

The football star has also revealed that family comes before football when making career decisions. Before considering a move to a new club, he makes sure the city can provide suitable schools and therapy services for Mateo.

Sometimes the smallest things carry the biggest meaning. For millions of fans, Marc Cucurella's hair is part of his identity. For his son, it is a familiar sign that helps him find his father, making every match a little more special for their family.
