[PDF-fullMembers] Survey Invitation – Adapting the GBV Pocket Guide Disability Inclusion Annex for the Pacific

[Soloveni Vitoso]

Dear colleagues,

Warm greetings. We hope this message finds you well.

As part of UNICEF’s ongoing efforts to strengthen disability-inclusive gender-based violence (GBV) programming in the Pacific, we kindly invite your support in completing a short survey on the GBV Pocket Guide – Disability Inclusion Annex (Easy-Read version).

Persons with disabilities—especially women and girls—face heightened risks of GBV and often encounter additional barriers when seeking help. The Disability Inclusion Annex and Easy-Read guide were developed to help frontline workers provide support that is safe, accessible, and respectful.

We are now working to adapt the Easy-Read version to better reflect Pacific contexts, including:

•     Locally relevant examples
•     Culturally appropriate language
•     More relatable images

Your insights as an Organization of Persons with Disabilities (OPD) are vital to this process. The survey seeks your feedback on:

•     The clarity of the language
•     The relevance of images and examples
•     Suggestions for changes or additions to improve usefulness
•     How the guide can better reflect your communities and lived experiences

🕒 The survey takes approximately 10–20 minutes to complete.

📅 We kindly ask that responses be submitted by 30 November 2025.

Please feel free to share this invitation with other OPD members or colleagues who may wish to contribute. If you have any questions or need assistance completing the survey, please contact Priyanka on pnarahari at unicef.org who would be happy to help.

Thank you for your time and valuable contributions to this important work.

Warm regards,

UNICEF
