The Way Forward
1. Understand the scale and impact of disability in
the country setting and recognise the diversity of
the disabled population
2. Advocate and support the human rights model ofdisability rather than the charitable or medical
approach
Disabled people want equal rights, not charity. Disabled people are entitled to
the same human rights as all other citizens. In order to meet this standard, all
people should celebrate the diversity within their communities and seek to
ensure that disabled people can have the full range of human rights civil,political, social, economic and cultural.

The Way Forward
3. Recognise women and children with disabilities in programmes
It is important to design programmes and projects in a way that secures
gender equality and for both men and women to have equal influence on
the design, decision-making and implementation. Furthermore, as women
and children with disabilities are often severely marginalised, specificinitiatives are required to reduce exclusion and discrimination by:
Education projects aimed specifically towards women and children with
disabilities.
Strengthening of disabled womens networks and networks of parents of
children with disabilities.
Specific programmes for children with disabilities.

the workforce

a reasonable proportion of
disabled people among their staff.
