This has been done through the conduction of a field research in Montserrado County in Liberia, whereas interviews and observations has been executed on site.
The disabled women’s voices are the most important part of this thesis and will be presented in the result. The analytical framework, the Power Cube, combined with the Concept of Agency and Intersectionality has been used to analyze the results. The findings show that the disabled women in Liberia have participated in several different ways in the peace and security process. Although, many obstacles still exist for their full participation. Supportive measures for their participation have also been present but limited at best, and future support are needed to ensure increased participation for disabled women in peace and security processes in Liberia.
