Twin-track approach refers to addressing disability inclusion through:
- systematic mainstreaming and
- “targeted and monitored action aimed specifically at [people] with disabilities”
For example, a rape crisis center that is available and accessible to all but has programming for women with disabilities including trained counselors and support groups for women with disabilities only.
The Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has explained that the twin-track approach refers to a State’s obligation to: “systematically mainstreaming the interests and rights of women and girls with disabilities across all national action plans, strategies and policies concerning women, childhood and disability, as well as in sectoral plans concerning, for example, gender equality, health, violence, education, political participation, employment, access to justice and social protection” and “targeted and monitored action aimed specifically at women with disabilities”.
