The intersection of gender and disability: A primer for international development practitioners

August 2020

This primer seeks to support international development practitioners improve their understanding on gender and disability by highlighting the issues faced by women and girls with disabilities. It explores six key areas in this regard: education; sexual and reproductive health and rights; water, sanitation and hygiene; violence against women and girls; economic empowerment; participation, decision-making and leadership; and situations of risk and humanitarian crisis.

This briefing was written by GADN’s Gender and Disability working group.
