Peacebuilding & Armed Violence Reduction

Promoting peaceful coexistence, community resilience, and protection for persons with disabilities and vulnerable groups.

Understanding Inclusive Peacebuilding

Conflict and armed violence disproportionately affect persons with disabilities. Many experience displacement, loss of livelihoods, limited access to protection services, and heightened discrimination during crises.
ASI promotes inclusive peacebuilding to ensure that all individuals — especially persons with disabilities, women, and youth — have a voice in shaping peaceful and resilient communities.

Heightened Vulnerability — Persons with disabilities face higher risk during conflict.
Limited Access to Peace Structures — Most peace committees overlook disability inclusion.
Barriers to Protection Services — Limited mobility, information, or communication access.
Exclusion from Decision-Making — Few persons with disabilities are invited to peace dialogues.
