Abstract

The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of the Women with Disabilities Stigma Inventory (WDSI) 1.0., its development process and how to implement the tool and analyse results. The Women with Disabilities Stigma Inventory (WDSI) was developed as part of the project “Addressing Stigma and Discrimination Experienced by Women with Disabilities” (ASDWD), which was jointly led by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and UN Women, with funding from the United Nations Partnership on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN PRPD). The project was conducted in partnership with local organizations of people with disabilities, and women with disabilities who contributed across the four project countries: Pakistan, Palestine, Republic of Moldova and Samoa. The ASDWD project focused on the intersection of disability and gender-based stigma and discrimination. A key objective was to create a survey tool to assess the experiences of women and girls with disabilities regarding stigma, discrimination and gender-based violence. To this end, alongside developing the WDSI using a participatory approach, ethical guidelines and a detailed guide for data collectors were also produced to ensure a human-rights-based approach and minimize harm. This document presents methodological information about the WDSI, as a stand-alone self-reporting survey tool that can be used to collect data about the experiences of women with disabilities globally.
