Building capacity for disability inclusion in gender-based violence programming in humanitarian settings

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) and Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC) conducted a two-year project to contribute to the evidence base on effective strategies for disability inclusion in gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response activities in humanitarian contexts. This project was implemented in IRC humanitarian programs in four countries – Ethiopia, Burundi, Jordan and North Caucasus. This paper describes the findings from the first phase of this project in Jordan, where IRC is delivering Women’s Protection and Empowerment (WPE) activities to Syrian refugees.
