Refugees with disabilities in Lebanon / Context (Cont’d)

7.The Lebanon Crisis Response Plan 2015-2016 sates:

a）"… some children displaced from Syria have missed multiple years of schooling, have never been to school or have specific needs. These groups, in particular children with disabilities, have limited opportunities, making them vulnerable to child labor, child marriage or other forms of abuse and exploitation."

b）Based on core public health vulnerability criteria; boys and girls under 5 years of age, pregnant and lactating women, survivors of SGBV, elderly over 60 years of age, persons with disabilities and mental health conditions, … are in the greatest need of support and will be prioritized within the sector strategy."

c）Recent assessments confirm that domestic violence, sexual harassment and exploitation, as well as forced/early marriage, remain the main protection concerns for women and adolescent girls. Unaccompanied girls, single heads of households, child mothers/spouses, and women/girls with disabilities are particularly exposed to such risks."
