Through the EmpowerHer project, WAG worked with frontline service providers including nurses, police, gender officers, and child protection workers. By the end of 2024, these duty bearers were actively changing how they work with people with disabilities.
Parents and caregivers also shifted. Many began encouraging their children with disabilities to take part in community life. This is a meaningful result. Changing attitudes among the people who hold power over others is what creates lasting protection for women and girls with disabilities.
