A/HRC/44/41
(f)
Integrate displaced persons with disabilities throughout prevention and
response mechanisms for sexual and gender-based violence;
(g)
Ensure that persons with disabilities have equal access to reporting and
complaint mechanisms, and that their concerns are acknowledged and addressed. To
ensure an adequate response to the violations they may face, reporting mechanisms for
human rights violations should include and pay specific attention, among others, to
women, children and older persons with disabilities and persons with disabilities
belonging to a minority. Feedback or confidential reporting mechanisms should be
accessible to all, with particular attention paid to victims of sexual and gender-based
violence, and meaningful two-way communications should be ensured and be accessible
to all groups of persons with disabilities;
(h)
Support the access of internally displaced boys and girls with disabilities
to inclusive and quality education on an equal basis, including by concretely addressing
barriers and providing reasonable accommodations to children with different types of
disabilities to ensure their effective access in accordance with their specific
requirements.
Durable solutions
101. Whether internally displaced persons with disabilities choose to integrate locally,
return or settle elsewhere, States should ensure that any durable solution intervention
contributes to “build back better”, applying the principles of participation,
accessibility, non-discrimination and universal design to all aspects of life. That will
help internally displaced persons with disabilities to overcome any specific assistance
and protection challenges they might have and to enjoy their human rights without
discrimination.
102. In particular, States and their humanitarian and development partners, as
relevant, should:
(a)
Provide information about options for solutions in accessible formats,
putting in place additional measures to support decision-making by displaced persons
with disabilities;
(b)
Identify any specific assistance required to support returns, local
integration or settlement elsewhere of displaced persons with disabilities, in line with
their preferences. Outreach might be necessary to identify persons at heightened risk
so that they can be prioritized in durable solution processes;
(c)
Facilitate access on an equal basis to mechanisms for family reunification
for families separated by displacement, prioritizing persons in particularly vulnerable
situations;
(d)
Support internally displaced persons with disabilities in accessing
employment and livelihoods on an equal basis, including by identifying barriers and
taking steps to remove those barriers, providing reasonable accommodations to persons
with disabilities, as necessary, to facilitate their full inclusion and promoting their right
to autonomy and independence;
(e)
Facilitate the access of all internally displaced persons with disabilities,
including through reasonable accommodations that may be required, to the personal
and other documentation necessary for access to public services and for political
participation, among others, and where relevant, guarantee access without
discrimination to procedures for registering as internally displaced persons and/or as
persons with disabilities;
(f)
Take steps to support internally displaced persons with disabilities in
accessing mechanisms to restore their housing, land and property rights, including by
sharing information in accessible formats and prioritizing the claims of the most
vulnerable.
