A/HRC/31/30 services addressing victims of sexual violence must be accessible to boys, girls and adolescents with disabilities. Education has an important role in supporting boys, girls and adolescents with disabilities as they transition into the recovery phase of conflict or disaster. Access to inclusive education strengthens community-based links and can reduce insecurity in camps and temporary shelters.49 36. Humanitarian emergencies create and trigger infrastructural barriers to services, including destroyed bridges, roads and buildings. The provision of mobile services, home visits and accessible transport can help to overcome infrastructural barriers during humanitarian emergencies. The implementation of mobile services is in no case, however, a substitute for the general obligation of States parties to render facilities and services available to the general public accessible to and inclusive of persons with disabilities. 37. Worldwide, persons with disabilities are overrepresented among the poor and are among the most excluded.50 The Sustainable Development Goals and the ensuing development policies must address these needs in a targeted way, highlighting the need for sustainable livelihoods for persons with disabilities living in poverty and those affected by protracted crisis. Food, water and nutritional security should be priority issues. A multidimensional approach to sustainable development should be adopted; one that encourages accountability to affected populations and helps them to build livelihoods that are more resilient to disaster and conflict. 51 Building resilience, strengthening access to inclusive quality education and decent work, and reducing inequalities within and among countries (including gender-based inequalities) can better prepare States to face emergencies.52 38. The realization of the right to development increases the resilience of communities and supports the implementation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities for all persons with disabilities. Positive measures introduced through law and policies to foster inclusion in the labour market – such as employment quotas in both the private and public sectors, and the promotion of self-employment – are essential to allow persons with disabilities to be better prepared and equipped for emergency situations. 39. States should take measures to ensure that persons with disabilities have adequate support to rebuild their lives and livelihoods in post-disaster and post-conflict situations. Temporary and permanent employment opportunities should be provided, together with vocational training. Public subsidies can enable employers to hire persons with disabilities by meeting the cost of modifying the workplace or acquiring additional equipment, as well as providing for reasonable accommodation, if required.53 Persons with disabilities should take an active part in community reactivation, as their exclusion affects their own lives as well as of the entire community. 54 49 50 51 52 53 54 12 UNHCR, Working with Persons with Disabilities (see footnote 47), p. 12.
