Persons with disabilities worldwide have lower levels of education than the rest of the population. Literacy levels among persons with disabilities have been found to be lower than the rest of the population, in a study conducted in Malawi (Munthali et al., 2004). Part of the reason for this is that education may be seen as unnecessary or problematic for children and adolescents with disabilities as they may be perceived as being unable to learn, or a disruption to the rest of the class. In low-income countries, the lack of financial resources may persuade parents to invest in their non-disabled children, rather than their disabled children, with few disabled children then attending schools in poor areas. The lack of education may act as a barrier to accessing HIV prevention information.

I’m struggling to find interviewees who are willing to talk about sexual violence. What should I do? I’ve run out of ideas.

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
