Our goal | How we work

DRGN is a voluntary network connecting disability organisations, gender-justice and development actors, activists and persons with disabilities for shared learning and collaborative action.

Disability and gender justice are often addressed separately. Persons with disabilities, especially women, girls, LGBTQI+ and gender-diverse persons, can therefore be overlooked in programmes and services. DRGN connects these areas of work.

To make gender-justice work more disability-inclusive and disability work more gender-responsive through shared learning, stronger connections and collective action.

Members learn, share resources and collaborate according to their interests and capacity. DRGN complements existing organisations and networks. Participation is voluntary and non-exclusive.

Disability organisations, gender-justice and development actors, GBVF and survivor-support organisations, LGBTQI+ organisations, activists, researchers, technical experts and persons with disabilities who support the Network’s goals.
