This resource is a tool which provides guidance on how to incorporate disability inclusion within climate change programming in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs), Syria, Turkey and Yemen. In producing this, a rapid desk-based evidence review was carried out exploring the following two key questions: 1. What is the broad status of the rights of people with disabilities in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, OPTs, Syria, Turkey and Yemen? 2.

This report presents the results of a 14-month exploratory research project on the links between disability and climate resilience. The report outlines the implications of the findings for policy and programme work that builds the resilience of people with disabilities to climate shocks and stresses.

This resource is a rapid review summarising relevant analytical frameworks and good practice for analysing intersecting social inequalities in crisis settings. The focus is on how to undertake contextual analysis of the vulnerabilities and needs of people in crises that are shaped by overlapping and compounding social inequalities. These inequalities may arise from discrimination based on gender, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression and sex characteristics, ethnicity and religion (among other identifiers).

This resource is part of a series of ‘poverty profiles’ by the Disability Inclusion Helpdesk focused on eight of the most marginalised group-based identities. It responds to the fact that global progress has not benefitted everyone equally, with many individuals remaining marginalised and extremely poor. Often, this is due to identity-based discrimination related to people’s disability status, age, ethnicity, or gender; and geographic disadvantage, for example through conflict or crisis.

This resource summarises evidence available on intersections between poverty and rates of intimate partner violence (IPV). It looks at how economic empowerment activities aimed at women impact the IPV rates and leads to both positive and negative outcomes. Policy recommendations include designing women’s economic empowerment interventions in ways that minimise potential harm, not only focusing interventions on individuals but at the household level, and to simultaneously focus on socially empowering women and transforming societal gender norms.

This resource explains how feminist foreign policies (FFP), feminist development policies (FDP) and international gender strategies impact incidents of violence against women and girls (VAWG). It summarises the commitments on VAWG from a selection of FFPs, FDPs and international gender strategies, and examines what this means for VAWG prevention and response work. It considers what is missing from existing policies and their implementation and makes recommendations for donors and policy makers. 

This resource explains how organisations can work effectively on prevention of gender-based violence (GBV). It explains steps that should be taken in strengthening organisational systems and structures, strengthening technical skills and organisational practices needed for design and delivery of ethical and effective VAWG prevention programming.

This tipsheet summaries learning and evidence from The What Works: Impact at Scale programme that focused on primary prevention of violence against women, girls and gender diverse people. It states that preventing violence involves addressing the underlying causes at the individual, interpersonal, community and society level, also known as the risk factors. Key takeaways include needing to have a deep understanding of the problem, using evidence to plan programmes, and working with women’s rights organisations to learn, innovate and scale what works to prevent violence. 

This research focuses on the risks of navigating access to social assistance in crises for marginalised people such as women and girls, children and youth, older people, people with disabilities, ethnic and religious minorities, and sexual and gender non-conforming people. The research also explains how badly designed social assistance can negatively impact people facing multiple and intersecting inequalities.
