Women and girls living with disabilities have the same sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) as women and girls without disabilities. Women and girls with disabilities face different barriers when making independent, informed decisions about their bodies, health and lives. This document aims to increase awareness of a human rights-based approach to informed consent for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) care and to promote equitable and inclusive practice.

In close collaboration with the World Health Organization, Humanity & Inclusion adapted and piloted WHO’s behavioral and social drivers (BeSD) of vaccination tools to understand and analyze the perception of COVID-19 vaccines as well as the barriers and drivers of immunization among persons with disabilities in a humanitarian setting in Somalia/Somaliland. This study was funded by the Universal Health Coverage and Life Course (UHL) division of the Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals (IVB) department of the World Health Organization, Geneva. Humanity & Inclusion also carried out a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) project, contributing to the inquiry phase described in this report, to foster the right to health as well as access to COVID-19 vaccination in Somalia/Somaliland, funded by the Center for Disaster Philanthropy.
