description:

A gender dimension was not explicit within the project. Statistics indicate that, in the whole of Oman, only 23 female PwD are working (representing 15% of the total of 154 working PwD). Such a low figure requires that a gender dimension be explicitly included in any future phase of the project to tackle the vocational rehabilitation and employment of female PwD. This has to start with a deep analysis of the life conditions of female PwD to determine the sources of inequality in their access to education, rehabilitation, vocational rehabilitation and employment, to include the definition of practical and strategic gender needs. The latter must be reflected in a specific and immediate objective within particular outputs promoting the development of programmes of rehabilitation in defined sectors, while also increasing gender awareness and mobilizing women’s groups and organizations as key partners.
