| Tags : | guerre crise humanitaire | Résumé : | This report contributes to a growing body of work addressing disability in humanitarian settings. In this report, the first to specifically address dementia in humanitarian settings, we seek to address the initial impact of an emergency on the lives of people living with dementia and the role actors play in the humanitarian setting. This report draws on the results of a systematic desk-based literature review of a broad range of databases alongside relevant research and policy analysis conducted by humanitarian and civil society organisations. This research does not attempt to be a comprehensive overview of peoples’ experiences of living with dementia or wider cognitive or psychosocial disabilities during a humanitarian response. We are limited by a lack of comprehensive data collection and by poor awareness and capacity within the humanitarian sector to identify a broad range of first-hand testimony. These factors in themselves demonstrate the need for greater awareness and action on the issue. |
