Lançamento do livro "Disability, Rights Monitoring, and Social Change"

A cocoordenadora do CIEG, Paula Campos Pinto, em colaboração com Marcia H. Rioux e Gillian Parekh, editou a obra "Disability, Rights Monitoring, and Social Change: Building Power out of Evidence", publicada pela Canadian Scholars’ Press.

Trata-se de uma obra que explora e desafia o modo com que os direitos das pessoas com deficiência estão a ser monitorizados, após a Convenção das Nações Unidas sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência em 2006.

Os capítulos abordam as atuais questões teóricas, metodologicas e práticas em torno da monitorização dos direitos dos deficientes, e oferecem uma visão detalhada das leis e reformas políticas, boas práticas e métodos holisticos.
