Challenge

People with disability face much greater risk of violence than people without disability A new report published reveals that in the last year women with disability were more than twice as likely to report sexual violence as women without disability. A quarter of young people with disability reported violence in the last year compared to 11% of those in older age groups. And people with cognitive and psychological impairments reported higher rates of all types of violence .

Solution

Development projects across all sectors - including skills development, income generation, and entrepreneurship projects - should consider the increased risks of violence and the limited access to information, resources, and services that many women and girls with disabilities face. Development projects should also consider the compounding nature of discrimination faced by women and girls on the basis of their gender, disability, age, and other identities, as well as context-specific factors .

Long-Term Impact

Disability is referenced in various parts of the SDGs and specifically in parts related to education, growth and employment, inequality, accessibility of human settlements, as well as data collection and monitoring of the SDGs, for instance: Goal 4 on inclusive and equitable quality education and promotion of life-long learning opportunities for all focuses on eliminating gender disparities in education and ensuring equal access to all levels of education and vocational training for PWDs.
