Pacific
Sisters with Disabilities at the Intersection of Discrimination - Report
This study aims to identify
the issues and challenges faced by women and girls with disabilities in the
Pacific and to analyse social and economic factors impacting on their human
rights. Women and girls with disabilities experience disadvantages and
discrimination based on the combination of both disability and gender-based
discrimination, known as ‘intersectional discrimination’. Responses targeted to
their specific issues and needs are therefore required to ensure that they
enjoy the same rights as all others, including disabled men and/or their
non-disabled peers.
