The past decade has seen marked improvements in terms of global commitments to the inclusion of people with disabilities, as evidenced in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and in the 2018 United Nations (UN)-wide Disability Inclusion Strategy, which calls for sustainable and transformative progress on disability inclusion. In line with these commitments, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) launched a new Age, Gender and Diversity Policy in 2018 (UNHCR, 2019), calling for greater attention to the inclusion of people with disabilities in all aspects of UNHCR’s work in contexts of forced displacement.
