Psycho social relevance of human rights education
Answers
Answer:
The human rights of persons with disabilities is one of the areas I have taken up most frequently in my country work, with the most recurrent issues being the right to live in the community and deinstitutionalisation; the right to legal capacity; and the right to an inclusive education. A considerable part of this work has focused on the rights of the persons with psychosocial and intellectual disabilities, who are among the most vulnerable and marginalized groups in society.
In all these fields, the 2006 UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (hereinafter the CRPD) is an invaluable instrument because it embodies the paradigm shift in attitudes and approaches to persons with disabilities, without which their rights cannot be effectively protected. This paradigm shift entails a move from the medical model to the social model of disability, i.e. viewing persons with disabilities as active subjects with equal rights, capable of taking their own decisions and contributing to societies rather than objects of charity and medical treatment.
