Leave No Woman Behind
L'objectif du projet "Leave No Woman Behind" est que les femmes victimes de multiples discriminations, d'exploitation, d'abus et/ou de violence prennent part aux processus nationaux, africains et mondiaux visant à protéger leurs droits et travaillent à la mise en œuvre des objectifs de développement durable (SDG) pour s'assurer qu'aucune femme n'est laissée pour compte. Dans la première phase, le projet travaille principalement avec les femmes et les filles handicapées.
Les quatre partenaires - Ghana Federation of Organisations of Persons with Disabilities (GFD) au Ghana, AMASBIF au Mali, Polycom Development Project au Kenya et GCAP - travaillent ensemble pour mettre en œuvre le principe "Rien sur nous, sans nous".
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).

Voices, Faces & Stories
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.
