This study used mixed research of quantitative and qualitative research approaches, particularly it adopted the explanatory research design that went beyond descriptive research to understand the reasons for the phenomenon. The target population of the study was 370 people with disabilities who work for the government. Subsequently, it targeted the Somaliland National Disability Forum (SNDF) as well as government officials in the institutions that are directly responsible for social issues such as the Ministry of Employment Social Affairs and Family and Somaliland Civil Service Commission. A structured questionnaire and interview method were applied as data collection methods in this study. The researcher was granted to safeguard the rights of respondents’ identities, integrity, and personal privacy by reporting data as a block instead of highlighting individual cases. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the thematic analysis method.
The study has found that people with disabilities are being denied both their basic human rights to work and the additional support they need to contribute positively to their communities and society, as full and equal citizens. It is found that people with disabilities faced community discrimination and rejection - followed by a lack of accessibility in public buildings, public information, lack of special schools nearby, and other special services to fit into society. It is also found that there is limited understanding of the different local and international legal instruments guiding rights realization for persons with disabilities these included the Somaliland Labour Act (Xeer LR-31/2014), Somaliland National Disability Policy, Somaliland constitution, and Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities likewise it was discovered that people with disabilities faced more potential difficulties in their work opportunities than people without disabilities. As a result, these people with disabilities feel unwanted and are not motivated due to negative attitudes from the community, lack of adequate policies, and being denied equitable participation in employment opportunities.
The study recommended that there is a need for the creation of an accessible environment for persons with disabilities, community behavior change programs are necessary, donors who are parties to the Convention of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities to mainstream disability in their assistance and to undertake detailed research on people with disabilities issues, including prevalence, attitudes, access to rights, challenges and services that they get and the gaps thereof.
