Leave No Woman Behind
El objetivo del proyecto "No dejar a ninguna mujer atrás" es que las mujeres que se enfrentan a múltiples discriminaciones, explotación, abuso y/o violencia participen en los procesos nacionales, de África y mundiales para proteger sus derechos y trabajen por la aplicación de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) para garantizar que ninguna mujer se quede atrás. En la primera fase el proyecto trabaja principalmente con mujeres y niñas con discapacidad.
Los cuatro socios -la Federación Ghanesa de Organizaciones de Personas con Discapacidad (GFD por sus siglas en inglés) en Ghana, AMASBIF en Malí, el Proyecto de Desarrollo de Polycom en Kenia y el GCAP- trabajan juntos para aplicar el principio "Nada sobre nosotras, sin nosotras".
Ghana Federation of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (GFD)
GhanaGhana Federation of the Disability Organizations (GFD) then Federation of Disabled Associations (FODA) was established in 1987 as a national umbrella organization of persons with disabilities with the then Ghana Association of the Blind (GAB), Ghana National Association of the Deaf (GNAD) and the Ghana Society of the Physically Disabled (GSPD), who are the founding members. The GFD is a non-Governmental, non-Profit and non-partisan organisation that works towards establishment and maintenance of official relations with the government of Ghana and its institutions, and organisations both local and international having shared, common interest with those of the Federation.
Polycom Development Project
KenyaPolycom was started in response to the sexual violence and exploitation faced by young girls in Kibera informal settlement in Nairobi. There was a particular case when a 39 year old man had a sexual relationship with an 11 year old girl that spurred the organisation’s founder, Jane Anyango, into action. She wanted to help girls to understand that they need to take care of their bodies until they are ready. She started by educating girls to understand themselves and make informed decisions concerning their lives, particularly their bodies. The organization was later registered as Polycom Development Project (PDP).

Women with disabilities making policy demands in Ghana
Disabled people are still viewed as a burden to their families and objects of pity. They are not expected to be seen in social gatherings and, if they do go, they attract uninvited looks.

I took my child with disability to special school, but the child dropped out of school because she became too heavy to carry and I could not afford a wheelchair.
