In Kiswahili, Ishara means a sign: the quiet signal that appears long before despair turns into action, the forced smile, the rigid silence, the exhaustion no diagnosis can explain. In this deeply personal work, Sekatuka explores suicide and mental suffering as forms of human communication, not crimes or moral failures. Drawing from lived experience and public health practice in Uganda, Ishara directly challenges Section 210 of the Penal Code, which criminalises attempted suicide, arguing that punishment meets people at their lowest moment instead of offering care. Ishara is about the signs we ignore, and the laws that deepen suffering when compassion is needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 218\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 03, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53086281630003,"sku":"9798233875274","price":35.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/hAvPOsLL_v9798233875274.webp?v=1772054302","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/ishara-notes-from-the-edge-of-humanity-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
