A conversation to learn from women at the frontlines of humanitarian action and disability rights advocacy

Inclusive Approaches to GBV Prevention and Response in Humanitarian Emergencies Side Event in the Margins of the 13th Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities

For years, people with disabilities have been excluded from programs and services designed to prevent and respond to GBV in humanitarian emergencies.

With the onset of COVID-19, women and girls with disabilities are being left out and left behind in even greater numbers. This event brings together women who are addressing the intersection between gender, disability, GBV prevention and humanitarian response in Cameroon, South Sudan, and Uganda to share their firsthand experiences and recommendations to ensure we deliver on our collective commitment to make access to GBV services and programs available to all on an equal basis.
