Strengthening Gender Inclusion in Disability Rights Spaces

post featured image

This resource guide gives an overview of the barriers to gender inclusion in disability rights spaces around the world and provides a set of good practices and recommendations for overcoming these barriers. Barriers that are highlighted through qualitative research with women and gender-diverse persons with disabilities include educational barriers, entrenched patriarchy and other cultural and attitudinal barriers, social taboos around gender and sexuality, discrimination on the basis of sexuality and gender identity—both in law and in practice, and historic siloization of gender and disability portfolios by grant-makers. Good practices are presented through real-world examples from advocates with disabilities. These include centering voices and leadership of women, girls, and gender-diverse people with disabilities, strengthening the capacity and leadership abilities of women, girls, and gender-diverse people with disabilities to exercise agency, strengthening the capacity of mainstream disability actors and funders to be gender inclusive, and increasing access and utilization of technology. The guide concludes with targeted recommendations for a variety of disability rights spaces and actors.
