GEDSI `Concept

Understanding the Concept of GEDSI

❑ The term ‘Gender Equality, Disability, and Social Inclusion’

(GEDSI) highlights the importance of addressing the multiple
sources of discrimination that different people and groups
face, including those that arise from gender and disability.
❑ GEDSI means understanding the identities of different people
in each context, the different forms of discrimination and
disadvantage that occur as a consequence, and the barriers
to and risks arising from working towards equal opportunities
and rights for all women and men, girls and boys.
❑ Within AAI, the breadth of these possible exclusions is
referred to as disadvantaged women, people with disabilities,
other marginalised groups in the society, and people from
target provinces.
