Disability Rights Law and Policy: International and National Perspectives
Disability community advocates around the globe during the past quarter century have been working to challenge the widespread discrimination, exclusion and segregation of people with disabilities by asserting their human and individual rights. The impact of their advocacy resonates from the United Nations to the constitutions of emerging nations, from laws enacted at the country level to local policies that recognize the rights of children and adults with disabilities to be treated equally and with dignity.
This book, which owes its inspiration to the strength of their communities and to the promise their victories hold for the future, is dedicated to those heroes.
