Disability Rights Fund
The Disability Rights Fund is a human rights organization resourcing organizations of persons with disabilities in the Global South through participatory grantmaking, technical assistance, and advocacy support to achieve equal rights and full participation in society. Recognizing that women and girls with disabilities face even greater risk of violence and abuse than others in Haiti, DRF has supported and linked women-led organizations, including Association des Femmes Handicapées du Sud (AFHS), one of the few in Haiti advocating for the rights of women and girls with disabilities to access justice and live a life free of violence.
