People with disabilities experience disproportionate harm in conflict zones, yet are routinely excluded from peacebuilding efforts. However, disability rights have proven to be a unifying issue across conflict lines — and organizations of persons with disabilities have been playing a growing role in recent years, advocating for inclusive peace and disability rights in conflict and post-conflict settings.
