SPADRA
Strengthening Partnerships to Advance Disability Rights in Africa
The Strengthening Partnerships to Advance Disability Rights in Africa (SPADRA) initiative aims to address the challenges faced by millions of persons with disabilities in Africa, particularly women and girls with disabilities. These individuals often experience extreme poverty, marginalization, and abuse, and encounter barriers to participation and inclusion and lack of access to healthcare, education, employment, and decision-making. Women with disabilities face additional challenges due to intersecting factors like gender, disability, age, social class, and ethnicity. SPADRA is designed to advance gender and disability rights in Africa.
