People with intellectual disabilities are being left behind in situations of risk and crisis – and the exclusion gap is growing.

Humanitarian organisations need to shift their programming to better include people with intellectual disabilities, and need an understanding of key barriers and inclusive programming to take action.

This two page flyer shares:

  • Additional barriers that people with intellectual disabilities face in humanitarian crises
  • Key data on the exclusion of people with intellectual disabilities from humanitarian action
  • How OPDs take action to ensure that people with intellectual disabilities are not left behind

This flyer gives humanitarian organisations an overview of how programming may be failing to respond to the needs of people with intellectual disabilities, and shares examples of how OPDs deliver programming to address those needs.
