Synopsis

Disability: Law and Rights provides comprehensive, plainly-written account of disability law in Kenya. It elucidates the rights of persons with disabilities as provided under the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), giving them an in-depth appraisal within the Kenyan context. The book discusses emerging issues on disability such as inclusive development in legislations and policies, reasonable accommodation, universal design, non-discrimination, albinism and vision 2030 among others. Some of the themes discussed in this book include the meaning of disability, various models of disability, types of disabilities, sources of disability law in Kenya, legal rights of persons with disabilities, the protection of the rights of persons with disabilities, the rights and principles specified in the CRPD, such inherent dignity, non-discrimination, accessibility, full and effective participation and rights of women and women children with disabilities. The book also discusses how to translate the obligations specified in the CRPD into action through habilitation and rehabilitation, reasonable accommodation and universal design and non-discrimination among others. The sub-themes discussed under these broad principles include accessibility and personal mobility, access to buildings, offices, public and personal service facilities, access to information, access to education and educational facilities, work and employment, adequate standards of living and social protection, the right to healthcare, access to justice, offences to persons with disabilities and monitoring the rights of persons with disabilities.
