Voices from the Ground, Landmine and Explosive Remnants of War Survivors Speak Out on Victim Assistance
Armed Violence and Disability: the Untold Story
This report has confirmed the clear link between armed violence and disability. Interviewed survivors of armed violence who sustain lasting medical conditions face many barriers in their daily lives, especially those who live in marginalized, neglected and relatively dangerous areas. Research was carried out in 2011/2012 in Medellin, Colombia; Karamoja, Uganda; Peshawar, Pakistan; and Port-au-Prince, Haiti.
SGVP Viewpoints No.2 – April 2013: Evolution of victim assistance within Handicap International
Viewpoints No. 2 describes the development and elaboration of victim assistance from the perspective of Handicap International (HI), which has 30 years of experience assisting survivors of landmines and other explosive remnants of war, and more recently small arms and light weapons. The article highlights the parallel evolution of HI’s practice and policy efforts on victim assistance, including efforts to embed victim assistance in arms control processes, promote disability rights, and prevent injuries. Examples from South Sudan and Libya further illustrate current practices and needs.
