Strengthening protecting of refugees and migrants…

Refugees and migrants with disabilities leave their homes in strongly disadvantaged situations. Apart from the challenges to flee and to survive the journey, they encounter barriers while being hosted in reception centres, communities and camps. They may face lack of access to protection and assistance, medical care and assistive technology. Women, children, unaccompanied minors and older persons with disabilities face an even higher risk of being excluded from receiving appropriate support.
