Out of the Margins: An intersectional analysis of disability and diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, expression & sex characteristics in humanitarian and development contexts

Created in collaboration between Edge Effect and CBM Australia, this report seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What are the key areas of intersectionality of disability and people with diverse
   SOGIESC in humanitarian and development contexts, and the issues arising
   from these?
2. What are the particular barriers and enablers to the inclusion of people with
   disabilities and diverse SOGIESC in humanitarian and development programs?
3. What principles, practices and strategic opportunities should inform disability and inclusive development policy, planning and programming?

This report presents the findings of a literature review and key informant interviews. Overall, the report finds that for people who are both living with a disability and a member of the diverse SOGIESC community, intersectional marginalisation and vulnerability has far-reaching impacts. The report provides examples from the Pacific and elsewhere, and offers significant recommendations for the sector.
