Voices of Resilience
Disability and Development Partners (DDP) has been working with partners in least developed countries for over 30 years, facilitating positive change for marginalized communities. The Voices of Resilience project, developed in response to a 2023 survey by Rainbow Disability Nepal (RDN), addresses the struggles faced by queer disabled people in Kathmandu. The survey revealed that these individuals face challenges in establishing a recognised social identity, compounded by stigma and discrimination that limits their social, emotional, and economic opportunities.
