Six months after the Armenia Refugee crisis, the needs of refugees with disabilities are yet to be met especially women and girls with disabilities. The Gender Alert No.2 highlights the situation of the refugees with disabilities and provides insight into the gender-specific challenges and barriers to humanitarian assistance for women, men, girls and boys with disabilities in the six months following the displacement.
This exercise is a joint effort between UN Women and Disability Rights Agenda NGO and its network and aims to provide insight into the current situation facing refugees living with disabilities as one of the most marginalized groups in this crisis. Challenges vary from documentation and information gaps, access to services, social norms, access to employment opportunities, and participation in decision-making processes.
