The document discusses the drafting process of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill 2012 (RPD Bill) in India. It summarizes that the bill was drafted through extensive consultations with disability rights groups. Key principles like equality, non-discrimination, accessibility, and participation guided the formulation of the bill. The proposed law seeks to replace the 1995 act and align Indian law with the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The RPD Bill aims to guarantee both socio-economic and civil-political rights for persons with disabilities in India.
This document discusses resistance to the dominant discourse around migration and development. It outlines the emergence of "global migration governance" led by international organizations that focuses on migration management and views migrants as agents of development based on remittances. It argues this perspective sidelines human and labor rights. The document then examines the global migrant rights movement as a form of resistance, including networks like People's Global Action and the Global Coalition on Migration that advocate for a rights-based approach recognizing migrant agency and rights in both home and destination countries. It argues this resistance aims to democratize migration governance and ultimately make migration a choice rather than necessity.

United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesIFsbh
IF workshop in the European Parliament in Strasbourg, October 2012. Dima Yared, Human Rights Officer at United Nations Office for Human Rights, Regional office for Europe, presented the United Nation Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and how to use it to advocate for and promote the rights to work of people with disabilities.
The document provides guidance for Finnish NGOs on applying a human rights-based approach to development projects. It explains that a human rights-based approach aims to empower rights-holders to demand their rights and strengthen the capacity of duty-bearers to respect, protect, and fulfill those rights. In addition, the document outlines the core principles of a human rights-based approach and provides guidance on how to integrate human rights into project planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation.
The UNCRPD is an international treaty that protects the human rights of persons with disabilities. It marks a shift from viewing disability as a medical issue to a human rights perspective. The ratification of the UNCRPD in India was directly influenced by advocacy from two organizations - the National Centre for Promotion of Employment for Disabled People and the Disabled Rights Group. These organizations campaigned to promote the rights of persons with disabilities, including equal access to education, employment, infrastructure and political/social participation. The UNCRPD aims to ensure persons with disabilities can fully and equally enjoy all human rights.
This document discusses tools to help Red Cross staff and volunteers promote the Fundamental Principles and a culture of non-violence. It introduces the Seven Skills for Seven Principles (747) framework, which breaks down the Principles into more tangible skills.

The goal is to go beyond understanding the Principles to enabling individual behavior change towards non-violence.
The document discusses human rights and equal opportunities for older people. It provides an overview of the International Federation on Ageing (IFA), an international non-governmental organization established in 1973 to advocate for policies and practices that improve quality of life for older adults worldwide. The document then outlines key issues facing older populations like age discrimination, poverty, care needs, and social exclusion. It also describes international actions taken to promote older adult rights, such as the UN Principles for Older Persons in 1991 and ongoing discussions toward a UN Convention on the rights of older people.
These organizations - known at the UN as "non-governmental organizations" or "NGOs" - are often the most effective voices for the concerns of ordinary people .
Biwako millennium framework for actionRosally Nesh
The document summarizes the key points of the Biwako Millennium Framework (BMF) which is an organization that promotes an inclusive, barrier-free and rights-based society for people with disabilities in Asia and the Pacific region. The BMF was established in 2002 at the "High-Level Intergovernmental meeting" in Shiga, Japan. It aims to implement policies that support equal opportunities for people with disabilities in areas like education, health, employment. Governments that sign on to the BMF must consult with disability organizations and ensure they collect accurate disability data. The BMF also outlines priority areas, critical issues, targets, and actions required to promote the rights and inclusion of people with disabilities.
Indian legislature on person with disabilitiesAhmed Jaswal

It outlines key acts that protect the rights of disabled persons, including the Persons with Disabilities Act of 1995, the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Bill of 2014, and the Mental Health Act of 1987. It also summarizes provisions for their education, employment, accessibility, and social security as established in national policies and acts.
The Principle of sustainability, local democracy and moralityRahman Khatibi
Traditional narratives of moral philosophy seem to be silent on modern issues such as "our duties to the environment." It seems to many that the right way to go about environmental problems is for the government to legislate and enforce; for the institutions to comply with legislation when they carry out their tasks, and for individuals to hope that everything will be fine. But will it, in the risk society that we live in, where we can demonstrate that adverse effects (outside the range of natural events) are our making and not acts of God? My presentation will look at the pervasive sustainable development industry ( as big as 7% of GDP in England). I will show that in a risk society, individuals need to have a culture of critical thinking and then act as moral agents. In this way, they will be the lubricant in a governance system comprising the government, institutions and individuals. Although I will be reviewing traditional moral theories (but deeming them to be hopeless) I will rely on an evolutionary framework, whereby morality is seen as essential to good governance. The presentation gives a special focus on inclusionsm.
This document discusses disability and services for persons with disabilities in India. It provides definitions of disability and outlines India's community-based rehabilitation (CBR) approach. Some key points:

Agenda for Sustainable Development: Can It Benefit the Disabled Community? Ma...HealthOERUCT
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development aims to eradicate poverty and promote greater equality. Poverty eradication (Goal 1) provides an opportunity to address issues facing disabled persons, as the majority live in poverty. However, the disabled community brings valuable assets that are often overlooked, such as wisdom from navigating adversity and developing coping strategies. For poverty to be successfully eliminated, the consultative process must directly involve disabled persons in development and implementation of strategies to draw on their expertise regarding barriers they face and how to overcome them.

SDG 13 aims to take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. It has several targets related to strengthening resilience to climate hazards, integrating climate measures into policies, improving education on climate change, and mobilizing funds to address needs in developing countries. SDG 13 is connected to the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which requires that persons with disabilities benefit from and participate in disaster relief. Inclusive and consultative processes are important to make sure goals and policies are fully inclusive of persons with disabilities. The knowledge and experiences of persons with disabilities in disaster-prone areas can benefit climate resilience programs and policies.
This report summarizes the findings of a nine-month inquiry into asset-based community development approaches. The inquiry was led by the International Association for Community Development (IACD) and involved over sixty practitioners from around the world. The report explores appreciating and building on community assets, including people, relationships, skills, and physical spaces. It provides several case studies of communities that have used asset-based approaches and examines some of the challenges and opportunities of these approaches.
This document discusses disability and impairment in India. It begins with background on defining and understanding disability, noting it is complex with both medical and social aspects. Disability results from interactions between health conditions and environmental/personal factors. The document then discusses prevalence of disability in India, citing 2011 Census data that found over 26 million persons or 2.21% of the population identified as disabled. It increased from 2001. Most disabled persons live in rural areas and males have a higher proportion than females. The document provides definitions of disability types and risk factors like malnutrition, conflict, and traffic accidents. It also outlines government policies and schemes in India related to disability.
This document discusses various types of disabilities including physical, sensory, intellectual, mental health, and developmental disabilities. It defines disability and impairment and outlines some key issues faced by persons with disabilities such as high unemployment rates, violence, and lack of access to education. Some key facts are provided such as 10% of the world's population living with a disability, with 90% of children with disabilities in developing countries not attending school. The document also discusses the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons of the Philippines which outlines principles and policies to support the rights and integration of persons with disabilities.
communicating disability through networking...Dr V. JANAKI
This document discusses the importance of networking and collaboration among disability advocates and organizations to promote inclusion and accessibility. It notes that alone individuals can do little, but together they can accomplish much. It describes how disability activists have formed a cohesive force to advocate for human rights and negotiate for dignity, self-expression, mobility and other rights. Through online groups like Google Groups, advocates can synchronize efforts, share information, and work with governments and organizations to lobby for changes that ensure rights for people with disabilities as defined in frameworks like the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Chapter 6 - FINAL Relevant Policy and Legal frameworks.pptzii81336
This document discusses relevant policy and legal frameworks related to inclusiveness for people with disabilities. It outlines the history of discrimination against people with disabilities and their exclusion from society. It also describes international instruments like the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities of 2006 and domestic Ethiopian policies like the 1994 Education and Training Policy, Constitution of 1995, and revised Special Needs Education Strategy of 2012 that were developed to promote the rights of people with disabilities. However, it notes that strong commitment is still required from governments to effectively implement these frameworks.
Disabled people's organizations (DPOs) are established, governed, and managed by people with disabilities to represent their voice, interests, and needs at all levels. There are two main types - those representing all disabilities, and those focused on a single disability. DPOs are larger, more structured organizations that focus on influencing policy and allocating resources, working with self-help groups at the local level to meet both short and long-term needs of people with disabilities.
This document discusses the rights of indigenous peoples with disabilities. It notes that indigenous peoples are often disproportionately likely to experience disabilities due to factors like poverty, environmental degradation, and violence. Indigenous peoples with disabilities frequently face multiple forms of discrimination based on both their indigenous identity and disability status. Both the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities aim to protect these groups, but more work is needed. The World Conference on Indigenous Peoples in 2014 provides an opportunity for governments and indigenous peoples to commit to including the voices and concerns of indigenous peoples with disabilities.

This multifaceted challenge, deeply rooted in historical, social, and political animosities, demands urgent attention. Despite the escalating persecution, substantial support from the Western world remains lacking.
5. “Respect for
inherent dignity,
individual autonomy
including the
freedom to make
one's own choices,
and independence
of persons”
The Idea for a World Union of Organizations,
Institutions, Real and Legal Persons working for
Persons with Disabilities
People with disabilities constitute the world’s largest minority group. This
group has, until now, lacked a common forum to provide an environment for
the exchange of ideas, technology, ideology, know-how and experience
between the disability movements of developing and developed countries;
coordination between local, national and regional disability groups; and direct
advocacy for the rights of individuals with disabilities.
We firmly believe that the unity of all local, national, regional and international
Organizations of Persons with Disabilities which work for the promotion of the
rights of Persons with Disabilities and base their activities on the principles of
the United Nations and universal human rights is an indispensable condition
for the realization of a human society devoid of physical and social disabling
barriers against persons with impairments.
Our idea is guided by the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities, and UN World Programme of Action Concerning Disabled
Persons.

6. “Full and effective participation and
inclusion in society”
The Idea for a World Union of Organizations,
Institutions, Real and Legal Persons Working all
together for Persons with Disabilities
To this end, 138 NGOs, Organizations, Institutions, and legal persons
from 43 countries in addition to hundreds of individuals took the first
step towards the foundation of the World Disability Union at the World
Disability Symposium and Workshop in Istanbul from March 4 to 6,
2011, organized by the World Disability Foundation.
• World Disability Foundation (WDF) is a national umbrella
organization headquartered in Istanbul with the aim to
spearhead the foundation of an international umbrella
organization for NGOs for disabled persons and bring together
the NGOs of the world.
• WDF enshrines the values of Justice, Equal Opportunity,
Compassion, Fraternity, Transparency, and Quality for all
Humans and Beings.
• Its maxim is "Servicing Humans for a Non-Disabled World of the
Future".
• WDF also undertakes many Enabling Projects including
Universal Design, Eurasia Spinal Cord Care Center, Geriatric
Care Center, Advanced Life Centre, Technical Medical
Equipment Research and Generation Centers, Olympic Sports
Complex Without Disabilities, World Handicapped Holiday
Camp, Rehabilitation Center for Handicapped Animals.

7. “Respect for
difference and
acceptance of
persons with
disabilities as part
of human diversity
and humanity”
Strength Through Diversity
The World Disability Union will be based on a strong demographic and
organizational structure. The main strengths of a world union are:
First world union of its kind for persons with disabilities with a wide
participation of NGOs, Organizations, Institutions, Legal and Real
Persons from all corners of the world,
Organized action not only for roughly 650 million humans living with
a disability, but also for all humans who have the potential to
become disabled,
Organizational Cooperation and Development (Institutionalization),
International and National Representative Role,
Supervisory Role,
Advocacy Role,
Media Relations and Impact,
Academic Responsibility,
Implementation of non-disabled projects,
Horizontal spread of information, rights and practices.

8. “Prevention of “Equality of
Disability” opportunity”
“Rehabilitation” “Accessibility”
Incentive for All Disability Organizations to
Participate
World Disability Union is expected to become the single largest
organization for the collaboration of local NGOs, Organizations,
Institutions, Legal persons of persons with disabilities and individuals
with disabilities, and bridging the gap between different challenges and
expectations in different countries.
NGOs from developed countries are postulated to benefit from a large
scale collaboration due to the opportunities for systematic information
exchange, technology trade, demand for new markets for medical and
technical products, promotion, qualified and inexpensive services,
health and disability tourism, new investment fields, common challenges
and social responsibility.
NGOs from developing countries are expected to benefit from a world
union due to the opportunity for achieving the ability to better connect
their home states with the persons with disabilities, work towards the
implementation of disability rights and projects, and integrate with the
world.
