Untapped peacebuilders: Including persons with disabilities in building peace

There are currently around one billion women and girls, men and boys, and sexual and gender minorities with disabilities. To date, very little attention has been paid to the meaningful participation of persons with disabilities in peacebuilding processes, the factors and dynamics that contribute to their inclusion or exclusion, the challenges of ensuring effective representation, and the most successful mechanisms for inclusion.
