  • Youth with Disabilities in Law and Civil Society: Exclusion and Inclusion in Public Policy and NGO Networks in Cambodia and Indonesia
    Disability and the Global South, 2014 OPEN ACCESS Vol.1, No. 1, 5-28 ISSN 2050-7364 www.dgsjournal.org Youth with Disabilities in Law and Civil Society: Exclusion and inclusion in public policy and NGO networks in Cambodia and Indonesia Stephen Meyersa, Valerie Karrb and Victor Pinedac aUniversity of California, San Diego; bUniversity of New Hampshire; cUniversity of California, Berkeley. Corresponding Author- Email: [email protected] Youth with disabilities, as a subgroup of both persons with disabilities and of youth, are often left out of both legislation and advocacy networks. One step towards addressing the needs of youth with disabilities is to look at their inclusion in both the law and civil society in various national contexts. This article, which is descriptive in nature, presents research findings from an analysis of public policy and legislation and qualitative data drawn from interviews, focus group discussions, and site visits conducted on civil society organizations working in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and Jakarta, Indonesia. Data was collected during two separate research visits in the Spring and Summer of 2011 as a part of a larger study measuring youth empowerment. Key findings indicate that youth with disabilities are underrepresented in both mainstream youth and mainstream disability advocacy organizations and networks and are rarely mentioned in either youth or disability laws. This has left young women and men with disabilities in a particularly vulnerable place, often without the means of advancing their interests nor the specification of how new rights or public initiatives should address their transition to adulthood. Keywords: Global South; inclusive development; youth policy; disability policy; Cambodia; Indonesia Introduction The passage of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD) in 2006 was a landmark achievement that has since begun to filter down and affect the everyday lives of persons with disabilities around the globe.

  • JDAIM Lesson Plans 2019
    Rabbi Philip Warmflash, Chief Executive Officer Walter Ferst, President The Jewish Special Needs/Disability Inclusion Consortium of Greater Philadelphia Presents Jewish Disability Awareness & Inclusion Month (JDAIM) Lesson Plans Jewish Learning Venture innovates programs that help people live connected Jewish lives. 1 261 Old York Road, Suite 720 / Jenkintown, PA 19046 / 215.320.0360 / jewishlearningventure.org Partners with Jewish Federation of Greater Philadelphia Rabbi Philip Warmflash, Chief Executive Officer Walter Ferst, President INTRODUCTION Jewish Disability Awareness, Acceptance & Inclusion Month (JDAIM) is a unified national initiative during the month of February that aims to raise disability awareness and foster inclusion in Jewish communities worldwide. In the Philadelphia area, the Jewish Special Needs/Disability Inclusion Consortium works to expand opportunities for families of students with disabilities. The Consortium is excited to share these comprehensive lesson plans with schools, youth groups, and early childhood centers in our area. We hope that the children in our classrooms and youth groups will eventually become Jewish leaders and we hope that thinking about disability awareness and inclusion will become a natural part of their Jewish experience. We appreciate you making time for teachers to use these lessons during February—or whenever it’s convenient for you. For additional resources, please email me at gkaplan- [email protected] or call me at 215-320-0376. Thank you to Rabbi Michelle Greenfield for her hard work on this project and to Alanna Raffel for help with editing. Sincerely, Gabrielle Kaplan-Mayer, Director, Whole Community Inclusion NOTES FOR EDUCATORS · We hope that you can make these lessons as inclusive as possible for all kinds of learners and for students with different kinds of disabilities.

  • INFORM and ACT SERIES Youth and Disability
    INFORM AND ACT SERIES Youth and Disability Addressing the challenges our youth face means taking disability into account. A strong region requires the equal opportunity, inclusion, and full participation of all residents. Disability is a natural part of the human experience. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) defines disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Disabilities are both visible and invisible. Our Regional Challenge 13,000 In the Chicago region,* over 800,000 residents—approximately 11% Opportunity of the total population—report having a disability.

  • Equal Protection for All Victims of Hate Crime the Case of People with Disabilities
    03/2015 Equal protection for all victims of hate crime The case of people with disabilities Hate crimes violate the rights to human dignity and non-discrimination enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the European Convention of Human Rights. Nevertheless, people with disabilities often face violence, discrimination and stigmatisation every day. This paper discusses the difficulties faced by people with disabilities who become victims of hate crime, and the different legal frameworks in place to protect such victims in the EU’s Member States. It ends by listing a number of suggestions for improving the situation at both the legislative and policy levels. Key facts FRA Opinions People with disabilities face discrimination, EU and national criminal law provisions stigmatisation and isolation every day, relating to hate crime should treat all which can be a formidable barrier to their grounds equally, from racism and inclusion and participation in the community xenophobia through to disability Disability is not included in the EU’s hate The EU and its Member States should crime legislation systematically collect and publish Victims of disability hate crime are often disaggregated data on hate crime, including reluctant to report their experiences hate crime against people with disabilities If incidents of disability hate crime are Law enforcement officers should be trained reported, the bias motivation is seldom and alert for indications of bias motivation recorded, making investigation and when investigating crimes prosecution less likely Trust-building measures should be undertaken to encourage reporting by disabled victims of bias-motivated or other forms of crime Equal protection for all victims of hate crime - The case of people with disabilities “[We want] to stop them being racist against us and stop some 80 million people in total.

  • Interdisciplinary Disability Studies
    YOUTH AND DISABILITY Interdisciplinary Disability Studies Series Editor: Mark Sherry, The University of Toledo, USA Disability studies has made great strides in exploring power and the body. This series extends the interdisciplinary dialogue between disability studies and other fields by asking how disability studies can influence a particular field. It will show how a deep engagement with disability studies changes our understanding of the following fields: sociology, literary studies, gender studies, bioethics, social work, law, education, and history. This ground-breaking series identifies both the practical and theoretical implications of such an interdisciplinary dialogue and challenges people in disability studies as well as other disciplinary fields to critically reflect on their professional praxis in terms of theory, practice, and methods.

  • The Policy of Multicultural Education in Russia: Focus on Personal Priorities
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 18, 12613-12628 OPEN ACCESS THE POLICY OF MULTICULTURAL EDUCATION IN RUSSIA: FOCUS ON PERSONAL PRIORITIES a a Natalya Yuryevna Sinyagina , Tatiana Yuryevna Rayfschnayder , a Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration, RUSSIA, ABSTRACT The article contains the results of the study of the current state of multicultural education in Russia. The history of studying the problem of multicultural education has been analyzed; an overview of scientific concepts and research of Russian scientists in the sphere of international relations, including those conducted under defended theses, and the description of technologies of multicultural education in Russia (review of experience, programs, curricula and their effectiveness) have been provided. The ways of the development of multicultural education in Russia have been described. Formulation of the problem of the development of multicultural education in the Russian Federation is currently associated with a progressive trend of the inter- ethnic and social differentiation, intolerance and intransigence, which are manifested both in individual behavior (adherence to prejudices, avoiding contacts with the "others", proneness to conflict) and in group actions (interpersonal aggression, discrimination on any grounds, ethnic conflicts, etc.). A negative attitude towards people with certain diseases, disabilities, HIV-infected people, etc., is another problem at the moment. This situation also

This study explores various types of secondary education that are categorised under one of two generic terms - Jewish secondary education or secondary education for Jews. The former describes institutions, offered by individual Jews, which provided a blend of religious and/or secular education. The latter focuses on non-Jewish schools which accepted Jews (and some which did not but were, nevertheless, attended by Jews). Whilst this work emphasises London and its environs, other areas of Jewish residence, both major and minor, are also investigated.
