1-Background:
Persons with disabilities (PWDs) comprise at least 15 % of the global population, with approximately 80 % living in developing countries. Thereby, women with disabilities (WwDs) face the "intersection" of gender and disability, which combines to create a particular experience of discrimination, distinct from those of non-disabled women or men with disabilities, which also impacts on their political participation. The United Nations Development Program (UNDP) ranked the Arab World as the second-lowest region in the world on the Gender Empowerment Measure; this indicates the lack of relevant knowledge and skills in WwDs and their organizations as regards to disability rights, gender and political processes and mechanisms and effective means of advocacy for their political rights.
Due to this discrimination against women with disability and the lack of organizations that target this issue, Stars of Hope Society (SHS) was established as an effort to address the needs of women with disability and support them in realizing their rights. Since its foundation in 2006, SHS has been eager to increase awareness about women with disability, their status, reality and needs as an endeavor to promote equality in education, employment and all walks of life. Furthermore, SHS has been successful at increasing the awareness of women with disabilities on their rights, as well as building their capacities and developing their professional skills to increase their chances on reaching out for equal job opportunities. 2. Project Context
