November

Making It Work, in collaboration with a global Gender and Disability Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), is launching an African call for good practices on the elimination, prevention of and response to violence, abuse and exploitation of women and girls with disabilities. It is targeting actions and initiatives that lead to their empowerment, reflect their diverse experiences and preferences, and promote gender equity. 

This call is part of a Making it Work initiative called “Towards Enhanced Inclusion of Women and Girls with Disabilities through Evidence-Based Advocacy and strengthened accountability”, which continues the work of documentation started in 2014 by the Making It Work Initiative “Gender and Disability Inclusion:  Advancing Equity for Women and Girls with Disabilities”.
 
The deadline for Good practices submissions is November 9th, 2016.

Applications can be submitted in English, Arabic and French.
