This report on the Making it Work Initiative, entitled, Gender and Disability Inclusion: Advancing
Equity for Women and Girls with Disabilities
, is the first report of its kind. It identifies and describes eleven good practices in ten countries which were developed by women to eliminate violence against women and girls with disabilities. This report documents the Making it Work Methodology developed by Handicap International. As explained more fully in the report, Handicap International brought together a Gender and Disability Global Technical Advisory Committee (TAC), consisting mostly of women with disabilities, to identify programs and activities throughout the world that have enjoyed some success in not only raising awareness about violence against girls and women with disabilities but also preventing it by challenging local and State policies and practices that allow such violence to continue.
