RISEWISE -RISE Women with disabilities In Social Engagement

Descrizione del progetto

Migliorare l’inclusione sociale delle donne con disabilità

L’occupazione e l’inclusione nelle attività sociali quotidiane rappresentano delle sfide notevoli per le donne con disabilità, che il progetto RISEWISE, finanziato dal programma di azioni Marie Skłodowska-Curie, si propone di affrontare. A tal fine, il progetto cercherà di individuare le esigenze e le migliori pratiche in vari Paesi dell’UE che rappresentano ambienti culturali e socio-economici diversificati. In particolare, verrà usato un metodo di analisi innovativo che promuove lo scambio di esperienze fra ricercatori, personale addetto all’innovazione e operatori del settore. RISEWISE sarà il primo studio completo su scala globale sulle donne con disabilità condotto in Europa, il quale esaminerà le potenziali linee di ricerca che valutano la fattibilità e le opportunità di innovazione. Il progetto intende inoltre dimostrare l’impatto del potenziamento delle capacità delle donne con disabilità sulla crescita economica e sociale sostenibile.

Obiettivo

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.
