Descripción del proyecto
Mejora de la inclusión social de las mujeres con discapacidad
El empleo y la inclusión en las actividades sociales cotidianas plantean retos importantes a las mujeres con discapacidad. El equipo del proyecto RISEWISE, financiado por las acciones Marie Skłodowska-Curie, pretende abordar estos retos. Para ello, tratará de determinar las necesidades y las mejores prácticas en varios países de la Unión Europea que representan entornos culturales y socioeconómicos diversos. En concreto, empleará un método de análisis innovador que fomente el intercambio de experiencias entre investigadores, personal de innovación y profesionales. RISEWISE será el primer estudio exhaustivo a escala mundial sobre mujeres con discapacidad realizado en Europa, en el cual se analizarán posibles líneas de investigación que evalúen la viabilidad y las oportunidades de innovación. Otro de los objetivos del proyecto también es demostrar los efectos de la potenciación de las capacidades de las mujeres con discapacidad en el crecimiento económico y social sostenible.
Objetivo
Women with disabilities have more difficulties to find an employment and to integrate in social day life activities than men with disabilities.
This project focuses on the collective of women with disabilities from different perspectives, trying to identify needs and best practices in several EU countries, representing different cultural and socio-economic environments, for the integration and improvement of their quality of life in several respects. By applying a novel analysis method, based on the experience acquired by the exchange of researchers, innovation staff and practitioners in the European area among the participating institutions, the project will identify a set of multi-sectorial research lines, to enhance integration and involvement of this population in the society along several dimensions.
The delimitation of the scope of the project to this sector of the population has several advantages. First, it is the first relevant study at a global scale that is performed in Europe on this collective. Second, it allows putting into practice and validating a novel social research method, with a strong multidisciplinary approach, with such a well delimited case study. novel potential research lines can be explored in different settings to assess their opportunity and feasibility. Fourth, it will show the impact that this collective may have on a sustainable growth in economy and society, from different respects, by empowering their capacities, so far undervalued. Fifth, it will establish a platform for cooperation among research groups and associations in EU that are aware of the situation of this collective, looking for their synergies. It is worth mentioning that advances on technologies and measures towards a stronger social engagement of disabled people have finally a positive impact also in the whole population as many examples show on how solutions have been transferred to the rest of society in fields such as computer interfaces, ergonomic solutions, etc.
