Humanitarian & Migration

Conflict, wars and the migratory process are a major source of impairment. Amidst the current migration ‘crisis’ persons with disabilities migrate too but are among those most marginalised, encountering a host of access barriers. Through this dedicated space we document and inform on the disability/migration nexus and the realities of those seldom heard. We also report on disability in the humanitarian sector.
