DESCRIPTION:Gistam Sakaeva has been an aid worker since the start of the first war in 
 1994, when she was recruited by Doctors Without Borders from a refugee 
 camp. In addition to Doctors Without Borders, she has worked for Handicap 
 International, Care Canada and the OSCE. \n\nShe is currently a project 
 officer for the Chechen NGO "Reliance", where she runs income-generating 
 programs for vulnerable women and those with disabled family members. 
 Gistam's main interests are gender-based violence and the marginalization 
 of mine victims and otherwise disabled children and adults in Chechnya. In 
 her experience, the war and its side-effects of violence, power disparity 
 and a harsher social climate have had a particularly detrimental effect on 
 already marginalized groups. For example, in today's Chechnya, children 
 with mine injuries as well as those with congenital birth defects are de 
 facto excluded from all schooling, cannot get the care and rehabilitation 
 they need and are often simply hidden away at home.\n
