Disability and Displacement

Forced Migration Review's latest issue focuses on "Disability and Displacement." Included are 27 articles that "show why disabled people who are displaced need particular consideration and highlight some of the initiatives taken (locally and at the global level) to change thinking and practices so that their vulnerability is recognised, their voices heard – and responses made inclusive."

In addition, the issue showcases a mini-feature on Brazil and five general articles. Readers can either access the complete PDF text of FMR 35 or browse individual articles from the contents list. Microsoft Word versions and audio files are also available for the first time.

Forced Migration Online (FMO) has compiled a related resource summary to complement the focus of this FMR issue.

And on a separate but related note, one contributor to this issue, the Women's Refugee Commission, will be hosting a workshop in Haiti on "Facilitating Access and Promoting Inclusion for People with Disabilities." See the invitation in English and French for more details. The training will be based on this resource kit. The Commission's fact sheet provides additional information on refugees and conflict-affected persons with disabilities.
