We are deeply saddened to learn of the untimely death of Yesutor Gbewonyo, and share our condolences with her grieving family. Yesutor was a brilliant, and ebullient student in our MA program. She graduated in 2017 after successfully defending her thesis, “Addressing the Sexuality Educational Needs of Learners with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities in Ghanaian Special Schools: Perspective of Parents and Special Educators.” This drew upon a rich tapestry of oral interviews and documentary analysis. She then went back to Ghana full of ambitions to bring the national program of sexuality education for intellectually disabled people into alignment with global best practices. Yesutor’s unfailingly bright eyes, smile and generous nature made her a much-loved Tutorial Assistant.
