We will contribute a further £1 million to the UN Trust Fund on Violence Against Women and Girls hosted by UN Women. This will support their efforts in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls with disabilities. This funding will support grassroots organisations to scale up their response to prevent and respond to the scale of violence experienced by women and girls with disabilities.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
We are currently providing £20m over six years (2014 - 2020) to the UN Trust Fund to End Violence Against Women. This £1m will be on top of this support.
Other
We have launched an open source Global Data Portal, which compares the quality of disaggregated data on disability prevalence around the world. The Global Data Portal brings together existing disability data for the first time on 16 key development indicators from 40 low and middle-income countries around the world. Initial analysis helps to identify gaps between men and women with disabilities and those without disabilities. This will support stronger planning, resource allocation and accountability.
Timeframe and/or implementation plan
Launched on 24 July 2018.
