Product Description

This report is based on a case study that analyses the experiences of thirty two persons with disabilities. The research team chose the interviewees to reflect various ethno religious groups of Sri Lanka, genders, and economic and social conditions from all nine provinces. The report explores how persons with disabilities were affected by the Sri Lankan government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The narratives of the interviewees reveal that persons with disabilities face systemic discrimination in every aspect of their daily lives, and such marginalization was drastically exacerbated by the pandemic response. The poverty that persons with disabilities and their families suffered worsened as a result of the recurrent crises.
