Overview

Gender and disability inclusion are critical considerations, particularly for forcibly displaced persons who face significant disadvantages in accessing training, employment, and social protection. Within this group, there are sub-groups that experience unique challenges, making it crucial to understand how disability and gender combine with the experience of forced displacement. Consultation with women and people with disabilities was foundational for the development of relevant and meaningful support.

Therefore, developing effective and tailored support requires a comprehensive approach that actively engages with women and persons with disabilities as equal partners. It also means mainstreaming inclusion rather than creating separate interventions, and engaging with organisations of persons with disabilities and individuals with disabilities in the programme design.
