All Under One Roof: Disability-Inclusive Shelter and Settlements in Emergencies IFRC, Humanity & Inclusion, CBM (2015)
Persons with disabilities often experience discrimination and exclusion, despite the adoption of an increasingly rights-based approach to humanitarian assistance. The past three decades have witnessed a growing awareness of disability issues and the emergence and spread of disabled people’s organisations.
The growing awareness must be accompanied by practical measures to identify and reduce the barriers faced by persons with disabilities in an emergency situation.
The the capacity of disabled people's own organisations must be developed and used to inform humanitarian
action and build resilient and inclusive communities.
All Under One Roof wants to transform the way humanitarian organisations approach inclusion and accessibility in their shelter and settlement programmes. It is the result of a collaborative process that started in 2013, involving CBM, Handicap International and IFRC
