Breaking the barriers: access to services for women with disabilities in West Africa

March 19 @ 9:00 am - 10:00 am

The barriers to access to services faced by women with disabilities in all their diversity, combined with systemic intersectional discrimination and gender-based violence, hinder their empowerment and undermine progress towards gender equality in the broadest sense. Drawing on the successful experiences of activists with disabilities from Senegal, Benin and Togo, our event will pave the way for innovations in access to civil status, public health and justice services, and social protection. Best practices in financial inclusion, women’s entrepreneurship and the fight against sexual harassment of young women and girls with disabilities in schools and universities will be shared.

** This Webinar will be in French and English **
