{"product_id":"disability-equality-and-human-rights-alison-harris-9780855984854","title":"Disability, Equality and Human Rights","description":"This book's basic premise is that disabled people themselves know best what their needs are and that they should be involved in the planning and delivery of relief and development initiatives. The most effective support that agencies can offer is to empower them to claim their basic human rights and their civil and legal rights. The text is based on the experience of Oxfam staff working before, during and after the crisis in Kosovo; but its principles and practical training materials can be applied far more widely. Case studies from Africa and Asia arising from the work of Action and Disability and Development (ADD) show how the values of equality, empowerment and autonomy that are promoted by the social model of disability are universal in their relevance. It suggests practical materials particularly useful to trainers working in geographically isolated areas without access to sophisticated equipment. Most activities and exercises can be adapted for use in groups of people with a wide range of impairments and educational levels.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alison Harris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0855984856\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780855984854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxfam\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.50h x 9.00w x 1.14d","brand":"Alison Harris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44127959056639,"sku":"9780855984854","price":59.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3515a843-f4a8-422a-b258-e78cf6ec4a69.jpg?v=1687456166","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disability-equality-and-human-rights-alison-harris-9780855984854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
