PRESS RELEASE
The second two-day seminar on "Problems of Attitude and Behavior Toward Women and Girls with Disabilities in Public Places and Their Support by Their Communities" was held in Baku on February 10 and 11, 2023, by the "Disabled Women's Society" Public Union.

The "Disabled Women's Society" Public Union has successfully continued to implement the project "Improving access of women and girls with disabilities to public services in Baku, Ganja, and Guba-Khachmaz region" funded by the UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women since September 2022.

The overall goal of the project is to improve the accessibility and quality of public services for women and girls with disabilities from low-income families, including internally displaced families.

The seminar's participants received instruction on a variety of state and public services useful for women and girls with disabilities and their families, including the recognition of various forms of violence against them.
During the seminars, information about those experiencing problems is gathered, forwarded to the appropriate state institutions, and assistance in resolving them is provided. Several women and girls with disabilities were happy to be supported to solve their problems as soon as possible at the round table and seminar held in Ganja, as well as the participants of the seminar held in Baku. As a result of discussions, organizing group exercises on the rights of people with disabilities, who are mostly unaware of their rights, is a more effective method and gives positive results.
