THE FIELD OF DISABILITY IS CLOSELY LINKED TO HUMAN RIGHTS & INCLUSION

Here are some links to other materials:

“Disability, development and inclusion: key information resources” This is the title of a directory and CD-ROM package produced by Source International Information Centre. It lists, both in print and online, 300 of the most practical and useful disability resources, aimed at organisations working with disabled people in developing countries. A wide range of themes include human rights, gender, poverty and mainstreaming, as well as planning and management of disability programmes and service delivery relating to children, community-based rehabilitation, mental health and HIV and AIDS.

MIUSA has a website, manuals and videos to empower people with disabilities around the world to achieve their human rights through international exchange and international development.
