Persons with disabilities are one of the most vulnerable and socially excluded groups in any crisis-affected community. They may be in hidden in homes, overlooked during needs assessments and not co...nsulted in the design of programs.4 While gender-based violence (GBV) affects women, girls, men and boys, the vast majority of survivors globally are women and girls.5 Persons with disabilities have difficulty accessing GBV programs, due to a variety of societal, environmental and communication barriers, increasing their risk of violence, abuse and exploitation.

The government of Kazakhstan has committed to ensuring that children with disabilities have access to inclusive education and it has taken the impo...rtant step of ratifying international human rights treaties enshrining the rights of people with disabilities, including the right of children with disabilities to inclusive, quality education.
